Default Help with Conditional Format Formula

The magic of microsoft seems to be preventing the exchange of replies
between the web inteface and Outlook Express again.
My thanks to Teethless mama for the response.
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT("Sheet2"&"!A:A"),A1)<1
Very nice.

There's probably a better way but this seems to work. On Sheet1:
conditional format formula
=SUMPRODUCT(--(A1='Sheet2'!A1:A3000),'Sheet2'!A1:A3000)<A1

Don't tell my wife that I answered myself.

Hi,

How can I highlight cells in a list of numbers on Sheet1 where the number
of occurrences of that number on Sheet2 is not equal to 1?

Sheet1 has a list of unique numbers that will not change.
Sheet2 is an entry sheet were a list will be entered.
Assuming both lists will start in A1 and continue in column A.

On Sheet1 how can I highlight cells in the list where the number of
occurrences of that number on Sheet2 is not equal to 1?

In other words, using the list on Sheet1, I want to know if a number has
not been entered or entered more than once on Sheet2.

Hope this makes sense to someone. Thanks for any ideas.
