any thoughts?>??
 

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.
Hi,

Tried to post your numbers with custom number format "0" and also as text, the conditional formatting for duplicates seemed to work in the same fashion. However, when posted as numbers, these were rounded up. I don't know how these numbers are to be used for any mathematical operations, if not then posting as text might work:

Other way can be that use sort on the columnand then use a formula for conditional formatting =A1=A2.

Apparently if you only have numbers valid up to 42 digits. But if in a column auxiliary to the number you add a letter at the end and in the auxiliary column you apply the duplicate format, then it works.
