Highlight Duplicate on entry
Hi,
I need something that would highlight the cell entry if there is a duplicate entry located on the sheet.For instance, i enter account N15650 in the account column and if this entry has previosly been made in the same column then i want this new entry to be highlighted as a flag for me.Does this require a macro or vb for this action? Thanks |

Perhaps try also Data Validation .. Assuming it's for inputs into col A .. Select col A Click Data Validation Allow: Custom Formula: =COUNTIF(A:A,A1)<2 Click OK Test it out .. -- Max Singapore http://savefile.com/projects/236895 xdemechanik --- |
