Format Conditional formatting Formula Is

=COUNTIF($A$1:$B$10,A1)1 and pick a nice distinctive background

Dear Gary's Student,

I tried what you stated. It worked for each column. But if the same
number was in column A once and in column B once, it did not show up
as a duplicate by the conditional formatting.
