Highlighting Like Names in a Column
Hi, There is probably a simple answer for this, but it eludes me. I have a
sheet that tracks customer sales by sales manager. The sheet is laid out as follows: A B C D E Salesmen Customer Name Year Jan Sales Feb Sales 1 1 Customer A 2008 123 123 2 2009 123 123 3 1 Customer B 2008 123 123 4 2009 123 123 5 2 Customer A 2008 123 123 2009 123 123 What I would like to be able to do is highlight the customers in column B that show up more than once, to let the users know that the customers sales under that particular salesmen does not represent all of the sales to that customer. It would be great if the customer name could be formatted a different color. There is always a blank cell under the customer name for the 2009 year, so I would need it to ignore the blanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Use conditional formatting.
