    Compare a cell against the column

    Hi guys,

    I'm kind of a newbie so please be gentle.
    I have a column with email addresses and i would like, when add a new one in the bottom of the column to be informed (highlithed text) if i allready have it in my list.
    I suppose is to be done with Conditional formating.

    A1: [email protected]
    A2: [email protected]
    A3: [email protected]
    A4: [email protected]
    A5: [email protected]
    etc.

    Great thanks,
    Spiep

    Hi and welcome to the forum.

    Yes you can do it with Conditional formatting.

    Highlight your area(in the example, A1:A10) and Formula is: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10;$A1)>1

    Change semi-colon, to gomma, if you have to do it.

    So... the same request but not for standard Excel, but for the Google Docs online version.
