I am trying to highlight duplicates across a workbook of 12 sheets. Essentially we are using it to track ID#s and I want to highlight the cell if this the value in cells A4:A100 matches that of the same sell range in the other sheets. I was able to come up with the below code, but even when I use in the "This Workbook" it only applies it within a sheet, and not across the multiple sheets.

how to highlight duplicates in Excel?
I have 3 columns A: surnames, B: names and C: dates of birth. I have already used filtering to sort the data, however I have too many names ( many thouands) to look through them to ldelete duplicates.
I was thinking about something like =IF(A1:A3=B1:B3; "1"), but it doesn't work.
I have a sheet that I use to go through and check data that is returned to me from clientel. Currently I am working on getting it to check for duplicates and having a heck of a time. Here is how I would like it to work. check the comment on all the cells in row 1. If the comment box has the keyword unique anywhere in its text then select that column, and highlight all duplicate entries. I have found plenty of examples on how to get it to highlight duplicates, but nothing close about trying to do it within the same contexts as I am trying.

How can I also get it to put a '1' in column A if it is not a duplicate?
I'm running a football competition for my business where customers are required to guess World Cup football scores via Facebook. I'm storing all their entries in a spreadsheet.
In the spreadsheet column a is their name, b is the match (e.g. England v Italy), c is the home tame (England), d is the score (1-1), e is the away team (Italy)
Across from, that I have the actual fixtures taking place at the World Cup. So column I is the date, K is the home team (England), L is the actual score (2-0) and M is the away team (Italy)
What I need is a formula that when I enter the result on a game into the right set of columns (Columns I:M) it will highlight those Columns (Columns C:E) that have entered that correct score.
It needs to compare 3 columns and not just one because for example if it highlights the score (1:1 for example) it could be highlighting someone who picked Spain v Holland 1:1 where the correct result would be someone who picked England v Italy 1:1.
Is there a way of getting excel to highlight duplicates within 2 separate sheets, one beside the other on screen?

I have a worksheet that has times based on 7 minute intervals. If I post 10:37 AM in cell b5 then again in cell b6 I would like b6 to highlight.
I'm trying to use countif($b$3:$b$15,b2)>1 to highlight duplicate times in column B. For some reason it will not work for me. Should I use something different?
I have a column of information, and I want to find out of there are duplicates in it without alphabetizing it. Where there is a duplicate (say E2=E5), I want to check the adjoining column to see if the value of those fields are duplicates as well (does F2=F5). So, what formula would I put in D2 to see if the value of E2 has an equal anywhere in column E, and if any duplicates are found (say E10,E33, and E43), to check if F10,F33 and F43 equal F2 (the value adjoining the cell that was searched for).
to find duplicate entries in a database by using people's last names (in column E) and birthdays (in column F). Odds are if they have the same DOB and the same last name, we've found a duplicate.
I receive a daily spreadsheet which contains (amongst other information) a column of postcodes. I'd like to run a macro which compares these postcodes with a list of other postcodes, and then to colour highlight each instance of that post code in the daily spreadhseet.
I have been able to find and modify a macro but that searches for one post code at a time and then adds a comments box to the cell.
Instead of copying that piece of code and editing it for the several hundred post codes I need to "look up" against, I'd like to know how to create a list of post codes in the macro, so that the macro searches the first post code in the lookup list, finds and highlights each cell instance, then moves onto the next post code in the lookup list, until the end of the lookup list. I would like this as the editing of the lookup list would be much easier than editing paragraphs of code.
I need to find a way to highlight duplicate records within a list. The records would first need to be compared by (1) the month (found in column A), (2) the account number (found in column B) and then (3) the commission type (found in column D).
I do not need the duplicates deleted just highlighted or better yet maybe have them identified as "Duplicates" in an empty column (such as column H).
I am trying to teach myself something new, say I have a list of numbers in two rows and I want to count the numbers and have it tell me if there are duplicates and highlight the duplicates. I got the part about getting Excel to tell me if there are duplicates but I can not seem to figure out the conditional formating part. I uploaded a sheet.

3000
Column B
- 10000

I know how to do the conditional formating to find duplicates when there is only positive or negative numbers, but i don't know how to match both positive and negative numbers.
I have a roster for a large group in excel and would like to have an easy way to highlight if there are duplicate entries in the roster as we are merging multiple smaller lists together.

I need to match up & clearly highlight the pairs (duplicates) in each coloumn.
What's the trick for this?
I have just looked through most of the postings I could find on the board regarding VBA to identify duplicates. Virtually all of these use the entire column when checking for duplicates.
I am after code which will identify duplicates in column A within a contiguous range of data.
For example there is a heading in column B and below this photo details will be entered and in the next column the photo number is entered.
Finally a number (for sorting) is entered in column A. The photos will be numbered 1 to whatever. So I need code which will highlight duplicates in that contiguous range of data.
Then there is one or two blank rows before another batch of photo details are entered. This means the same sorting numbers are used and are separated by a blank row or rows.

I am trying to tell the spreadsheet that if column G *and* column V are both identical to another row's column G and V, then the entire row is a duplicate and to highlight and delete it. I also want to record a macro of this process to apply to all spreadsheets.
Here are the tutorials I am looking at, but whatever I am doing is not working the way it is working for them.
Conditional Formatting, find duplicates with multiple columns [URL]...
I am highlighting cell A2, and under Conditional Formatting, I select "Formula Is" =SUM(COUNTIF($G:$G,G2),COUNTIF($V:$V,G2))>1
Then I select the format as light orange text, but it is only highlighting A2....
That is as far as I have gotten, and I still do not know how to go about deleting the duplicate entries. I have also read there are issues with recording a macro when trying to find duplicates using more than one column in the formula, but I have not gotten that far so I can't test it.
As is likely evident in my formula and process, I am not very experienced with Excel.

I am having trouble creating a function to count duplicates of duplicates.
An example of the data table 1 is:
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 2nd
Product 1 New
Product 1 New
Product 1 Flt
Product 2 2nd
Product 2 New
Product 2 New
Product 2 Flt
Product 2 Flt
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 2nd
Product 3 New
Product 3 Flt
I created a new table (table 2) and made a list of all the Products on table 1 and removed the duplicates. I now have 3 columns with titles New, 2nd and Flt as follows:
New 2nd Flt
Product 1 XX XX XX
Product 2 XX XX XX
Product 3 XX XX XX
I am trying to count the duplicates for each product (XX), but I can't seem to work it out. I've tried the MS help function, but unsure of the actual formula I need to be using.

I need to be able to track changes in a workbook by highlighting the changed cell either through changing the background color or bolding and changing the font color.
The problem is the workbook contains several worksheets being updated by several individuals, none of whom have access to the master copy.
Essentially the individuals update their sheet, then the sheets are merged into the master by copying and pasting the new information.
Is it possible to highlight the change only when the actual value in a cell changes, and not when the same value is pasted into that cell?
I have a workbook where there are around 10 worksheets. All of them are build the same, but only different sheet name (country name)
What I would like to do is use the column A to check if no one did put a duplicate in a differnt sheet. Now I have a formula in each sheet, but it would be great if it would also look in the rest of the sheets if there is no duplicate.
I have created a macro to open a workbook from another workbook and do a vlookup against the data in the source workbook.

I have a workbook that has five worksheets listing warehouse inventory items. One worksheet for 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009. In column b of each worksheet is a column B with a heading of "Item Number". There are hundreds of item numbers on each worksheet.
I would like to be able to find and highlight item numbers that appear in multiple years. Preferably color coded showing appears in five, four and three years. If that's too difficult than just items that appear in all five years. I tried conditional formatting, but have been unsuccessful.
Lastly, is there a way to list any duplicate item numbers on a new worksheet.
I have a worksheet with multiple sheets.
Users and Data
In users column A has email contacts from people that accessed a recoding on line. I need to be able to cross reference with another sheet called data where I will have their full name.
Basically I would like a macro that will check column A in users sheet and check in data the name column . If it finds last name or partial name in the mail it will highlight it in the users sheet and in the name column in data
User sheet
Column A is raw 1 is heading username
data sheet
column B is raw 1 Last Name
That way I am able to quickly identify a group of people if they did not watch the recording as user gives me indication on what they did.
I want to pull the very last odd duplicate. Example below, I want to pull out A3, and C5 and delete the rest. Is there a function that will allow me to do this?

A 3
B 1
B 2
C 1
C 2
C 3
C 4
C 5
D 1

Can someone look at the sheet sample? I am trying to turn duplicates into a zero like Ive done in record 1 so that the same tax bill is not counted twice. The records are in rows and if I do a transpose and try to do it by hand it will take forever cause I have hundreds of records.

When I enter number in cells the row that i am on is highlighted, this is standard.
Is it possible to have the same thing happen but highlight a specific column as I go down rather than the row number instead?
