    Identify accounts repeated more than 3 times

    Hi I am working on a report that has 100s of accounts. This spreadsheet has every appointment ever made for each account. It pulls roughly 530 rows. Depending on the amount of appointments each account will have 2-7 appointments. I am unable to attach the file due to sensitive information.

    What I need to identify in this sheet is each account number showing 3 or more times, and of those if the last created appointment date is greater than the previous created appointment date.

    I hope that makes sense! Thank you for any advice given.

    Re: Not sure what formula I need

    Hi, welcome to the forum

    I understand that your file contains sensitive data, so can you mock up a dummy file?

    Im thinking that you could use Conditional Formatting with COUNTIF() to highlight the accounts repeated more than 3 times

    (forum rules require that your thread title describes what you problem is, so I will change it for you - this time :0 )
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    I see, thank you for changing. I can attempt to make one and upload tomorrow. I did try the conditional formating but would only highlight duplicates which all accounts are repeated at least twice. I did not try the COUNTIF. I will try that. I think that is exactly what I need.

    Once I've tried and it works.... what should I use to identify those that are highlighted if the last created date is greater or equal to the previous created date?

    Something like this

    =countif(range, cell) >3
