How can you identify duplicate entries in a singe column? Can you identify
duplicate data in 2 columns where each column in on a different worksheet?

You will need to input the following formula in as a conditional
format.

Menu - Format - Conditional Format - [Change drop down to] Formula
is

=COUNTIF($B:$B,$B1)1

That should work...

If the values are in Column A, Sort the column. Then enter a Title for
the the column A in Cell A1 or just insert a row and leave it "Blank".
Then in Column B you can enter the following formula.
=IF(A2=A1,"Duplicate","Non Duplicate") and then copy down - this will
give you a visual representation of any duplicate values. You can enter
any value you want for Duplicate and Non Duplicate.
Second part of your Question:
Sheet 1 in Column B add Sheet1 for each value
Sheet 2 in Column B add Sheet2 for each value
Copy Columns A and B from Sheet 1 and Sheet 2 - paste them into Sheet
3
and then do the same formula as above in Column C - This will show you
where the duplicates are.
