Default conditional formatting- same value, different columns

Can anyone please assist:
data is in A2:J2000
I want to highlight identical values in different cells
I used the formula =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$183,D559)1
with no results?

the reference cell (A2), is in not in the same column but rather in coulumn D:
COUNTIF(A$2:A$200,A2)1
so if I use COUNTIF(A$2:A$200,D2)1
it does not work
