Rajat,
.. from Jim Thomlinson response Correct Formula: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$250,A1)=1 Jim's suggestion above works identical to mine for your post: Formula: =COUNTIF($A$1:$A$250,A1)<2 Guess I'm puzzled why it didn't work for you earlier <g -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- "Rajat" wrote in message ...
