Highlite Duplicates in 2 Columns (Conditional Formating)
It isn't clear whether you want to highlight duplicates within a
column (ignoring values in the other column) or look for duplicates across both columns. Moreover, why are A2 and A5 not considered duplicates, since both contain "Ball". Similarly, all the entries in column B are duplicates of one another, so the all the entries should be highlighted. Provide more accurate details.
