Thanks, that is very helpful.

It says I can use conditional formatting with the formula
=COUNTIF($B$2:$B$11,B2)1 to highlight duplicates in one category.

This is probably incredibly simple, but how do I modify the formula so it
only highlights if they match in two categories? Thanks.

Hi,

Haven't used Excel much, so I'm trying to find out how to do something
that
I imagine is very simple.

I have a list of addresses and I want to filter it so I get only
entries
that have two categories that exactly match another entry (for instance
last
name and zip code) so that I can delete duplicate addresses.

Any ideas how I would go about doing something like this? Any help
would
be
appreciated. Thanks!
