I have data something like this

sr r1 r2 r3 r4 r5
1 12 21 25 33 39
2 14 18 25 33 41
3 12 19 21 32 33
4 8 14 19 25 32

I want color the cell depending how many nos repeated

for ex: 12, 14,19,21,32 repeated twice , so I want color them red
25,33 repeated thrice so i want color them blue
8,18,39,41 are unique , so I want colon them red


Kindly guide me to write vba


thanks in advance
 

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Do you really want unique values and twice repeated values red?

Try, you can play with the color values to get what you want

This gives a list of the colors and the color number.

Code:
Sub cfdups()Dim lr As Long
Dim lc As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim numdup As Long


lr = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
lc = Cells(1, Columns.Count).End(xlToLeft).Column
Set rng = Range(Cells(2, 1), Cells(lr, lc))




For Each cell In rng
    numdup = Application.CountIf(rng, cell)
    If numdup = 2 Then cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 3
    If numdup = 3 Then cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 34
    If numdup = 1 Then cell.Interior.ColorIndex = 7
Next cell
End Sub

Rather than vba, why don't you use conditional formatting?

To apply your rules to A:Z

Create rule =COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1 to highlight all duplicate values.

Create a higher rule (at the top of the list) =AND(COUNTIF(A$1:A1,A1)=1,COUNTIF(A:A,A1)>1) to highlight the first of the duplicates.

If my above suggestion affects your headings then select the entire row and remove conditional formatting from selected cells.

Edit: Sorry, just read your post properly and realised that I haven't quite provided what you've asked for.
