    Duplicate value formula to be used in conditional formatting

    Hi guys,

    if it is not too much of an inconvenience was wondering whether someone can assist me with the above.

    Basically I have a date set consisting of 6 columns. I would like to insert a conditional formatting based on the first 3 columns.

    If data is repeated in the first 3 columns, it would highlight the whole row. What is important, is that the row will be highlighted only if the information is repeated in all the first 3 columns

    For ease of reference I am attaching a test file.

    Would really appreciate your kind help.

    Thanks

    Keibri

    How about
    =COUNTIFS($C$7:$C$17,$C7,$D$7:$D$17,$D7,$E$7:$E$17,$E7)>1
