Hi There!

Hoping I can explain this well enough. In the attached sample file, I have product listed down column "C" to send to a store; then all of the stores listed "E:L". I want to have a macro in my personal book to read the active sheet and tell me by highlighting the cell red, if it's a duplicate value based on the value of column "C".

It would need to loop through each cell, that is not orange, and highlight he duplicate within the store. I am trying to quickly view what we are double sending to a location.

Thanks in advance!

Excel Facts

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple
Conditional formatting like this maybe

Excel Formula:
=AND($D6<>"",COUNTIFS($C:$C,$C6,H:H,H6)>1)

Hmmm. Not sure If I'm using it incorrectly, but it doesn't seem to be functioning as planned. Highlights random blanks, and doesn't highlight the duplicates. I would need this to function on all columns past D:D.

Conditional Formatting may not be the best path as I have upwards of 200 columns to the left of D:D - I was thinking a macro to read the data, then another to reverse the formatting.

Thank you for the input!
