    Background Cell Colours

    Hi there,

    With regards to the attached, I am trying to get it so that when a name has been typed in column A 5 or more times, that the background of each cell turns to red. But I will need to do it for each name on there (i.e. more than 3, so I can't use conditional formatting).

    Please can someone let me know how to do this?

    Thank you so much

    Best regards,

    Kate
