Hello all,

I have a little problem highlighting the duplicate values. I have a column that uses vlookup, when it doesn’t find a value, it outputs “”. But every cell that outputs this, is now a duplicate but that’s not what I’m looking for. Is there a solution where the “empty” cells don’t get highlighted?

This is just an example to show you my problem:
