3. Highlight duplicate ro It’ a it trickier to highlight duplicate ro. For intance, in the aleforce dataet elo, ro ix and eight are duplicated. All the correponding cell contain the ame data. To identif duplicate ro, ou hould execute the tep from the previou example, ut ith modi몭cation to the Cutom formula i tep: elect our data range, ut not the header ro Open the Conditional formatting option and the Conditional format rule ide panel from the Format top menu Click Add another rule elect Cutom formula i from the Format cell if…dropdon lit Input the folloing formula in the Value or formula 몭eld: =COUNTIF(ARRAYFORMULA($A$3:$A$18&$$3:$$18&$C$3:$C$18),$A3&$3&$C3)>1 Chooe our preferred formatting tle and color for our highlighted duplicate Click Done You hould ee ro ix and eight highlighted, ince thee contain repeating cell value.
A quick explanation of thi method: The conditional formatting formula in thi example ork the ame a in the other. The formula highlight duplicate cell ithin a column. Hoever, the formula comine all the ro’ content and make a ingle tring for each ro. Thi part of the formula: ARRAYFORMULA($A$3:$A$18&$$3:$$18&$C$3:$C$18) create an arra of tring here the cell’ content ithin a ro are comined. Concatenation i performed uing the amperand. The COUNTIF formula ue the arra. The condition i a concatenated tring ith all the value in a ro, appearing like thi: $A3&$3&$C3 The arra i eentiall a columntpe contruct. The COUNTIF function check the numer of time the comined tring repeat in the arra. The end reult: the formula highlight all the duplicate ro in the peci몭ed cell range. 4. Highlight duplicate uing added criteria You can ue added criteria in Google heet to highlight duplicate data. For example, ou can con몭gure our heet to onl highlight duplicate for peci몭c value. Your ntax hould include the tar operator (“*”) to tell the COUNTIF function to ue oth criteria. The complete ntax ill look like thi: =(COUNTIF(Range,Criteria)>1) * (Ne Condition) ) Let’ look again at the dataet from the previou example. There are to emploee named Jaco ith di몭erent Deal ID.
In thi cae, e ill highlight the duplicate emploee, and alo add a econdIn thi cae, e ill highlight the duplicate emploee, and alo add a econd condition for the Deal ID. Firt, follo the ame tep a our previou example. When ou get to the Conditional format rule ide panel, input thi formula: =(COUNTIF($A$3:$C$18,$A3)>1) Then ou’ll need to thi formula to account for the Deal ID: Place the “*” operator after the initial formula Add the econd condition to our (COUNTIF(Range,Criteria)>1) ntax Your hole complete formula hould look like thi:=(COUNTIF($A$3:$C$18,$A3)>1)* (COUNTIF($A$3:$C$18,$C3)>1) Of coure, ou can keep 몭ne tuning our formula for the conditional format rule: Add a third criteria Place another argument after the criteria (e.g.,<5 or >0) Inert everal other “*” condition 5. Highlight duplicate uing the UNIQU function
5. Highlight duplicate uing the UNIQU function A UNIQU formula 몭nd all the unique value ithin a cell range. The function ork et ith a maller dataet. The ntax i imple: =UNIQU(Range) Let’ appl thi function to the ame dataet, o e can 몭nd unique value. elect an empt cell. Tpe in =UNIQU and include the data range ou ant to check for unique data: =UNIQU(A3:A18) The formula ill return the unique value ithin A3:A18.
