Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
What version of Excel are you using?
Please update you account details to show this, as it affects what functions you have available.

Also will the latest letter always be the last row for that part number?

If Col B is only a single character, then try

=IFERROR(IF(CODE(B2)=MAX(IF($A$2:$A$11=A2,CODE($B$2:$B$11))),"Latest",""),"")
Enter as an array with Ctrl, Shift & Enter

Or this as a non array formula

=IFERROR(IF(CODE(B2)=AGGREGATE(14,6,CODE($B$2:$B$9)*($A$2:$A$9=A2),1),"Latest",""),"")
