    Comparing two columns for duplicates

    Hello all,

    I have a quick question!

    I currently have two columns.

    Column A (from A2 all the way to the bottom of the worksheet)
    Column B (from B2 all the way to the bottom of the worksheet)

    Column A will keep a record of numbers I paste into it.

    I would like to use Column B to check for any duplicates.

    If there are duplicates, I would like them to show up in RED.

    any ideas?

    Try in B2: =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$65536, $A2) and pull down

    A conditiona formating would be =$B2>1
