    Find duplicate values in within 2 columns

    Hello,

    Looking for a formula to make this task easy!

    If for example I have duplicate values in Column A, I wish to then find the corresponding duplicate values on another column, highlight these.
    So, if column A had

    Column A Column B
    Dog brown
    Dog Brown
    Dog Grey
    Cat White
    rabbit White

    I wish the 1st two columns highlighted!

    I hope this helps!

    Use this as a conditional formatting rule:

    =SUMPRODUCT(--($A$1:$B$5=$A1),--($B$1:$B$5=$B1))>1
