I am creating a bubble chart and I don't want to overlap two bubbles. I can avoid it, if two values appear in the same row and two columns gets highlighted. (I am using Google Sheets.)
 

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Don't know much about sheets, but if you use this formula in the conditional formatting, it should work
Excel Formula:
=$B2=$C2
If the columns you want to highlight are not b & C change the ranges accordingly.

If the same value appears in two columns, it's also getting highlighted. I don't want this.
