Hi, I have a set of data and I need to be able to find a formula that looks at the prior rows and the highlight any changes. For example, Row 3, 5, and 6 will be highlighted here.

I tried using a helper formula to concatenate the columns and then a conditional formatting with a countifs > 1 formula, but that doesn't work as there is two John Doe values and I tried another conditional formatting with C2<>C3 but that doesn't work as Jane Doe will not mark a change.

Any help would be appreciated!

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
How about this?
