if I have a row of numbers in the C row and another set of numbers in the A row, how do I get it to color if a duplicate number from C matches an A number? like for example make it highlight it with the color yellow.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
ttowncorp, Good morning.

Select cells column A as you desire, eg.: A1:A100

Menu Conditional Formatting --> Using formula -->

Type:
Code:
[B]=COUNTIF($C$1:$C$100, A1)>0 [/B]

--> Choose desired fill color YELLOW --> OK

Is that what you want?

I hope it helps.
