Conditional Formating - by row, not by column (Office 2007)
Hi. I have a spreadsheet with 100 rows of data. There are drop downs in
columns M-P. I want to do conditional formatting by row (not column) to highlight when cells M, N, O or P have duplicate values. I've been able to get this to work by highlighting a row of those 4 cells one at a time, hiting conditional formating - highlight duplicate values but I don't want to have to do this for every row like this. I haven't been able to figure out how to copy this down so the conditional formatting looks across only and not down for repeat values. Help would be appreciate. Thanks! |

One way:
Select M:P. Assuming M1 is active: CF1: Formula is =COUNTIF(OFFSET($M1,,,1,4),M1)1 In article , bp wrote: Hi. I have a spreadsheet with 100 rows of data. There are drop downs in columns M-P.
