I have a table of placings in a series of races and the associated points applicable to those placings. E.g.

Name | Place1 | Points1 | Place2 | Points2 | etc

We drop the lowest points score (best 4 of 5 races), and I'd like to highlight that points amount. But I only want to highlight it the first time it occurs. In other words, if someone earns 35,35,35,31,31 points I only want to highlight one of the 31 values.

Is this possible? I've been playing with MATCH() and conditional formatting but just can't figure it out. I feel like the data being organized in columns and separated by the placing columns is making it difficult.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Awesome, happy to help.

All that last part is doing, is only looking at the Points headings, and making sure the the cell actually contains something

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
