How to find duplicates values in rows using conditional formatting?
before:
After:
You can use additional column where you use join columns B, C and D
=B2&C2&D2
[
and in conditional formatting on columns B, C and D use formula
=COUNTIF($E:$E;$E2)>1
[
Select the column you want to test, and then click the following in the home ribbon:
conditional formatting > highlight cells rules > duplicate values
Repeat this for each column you want to test.
Or if you only want to highlight rows where all values are the same, make a new column that concatenates all the value columns, and test that.

I have two conditional formatting rules. One highlights the minimum value of the column and works correctly (Column B). I want to also highlight the adjacent columns within the same row (Columns D and E). Columns D and E in the same row will always add up to the value in columns B.
Essentially, I need equivalent code to be put into the conditional formatting field that resembles this:
=($B$175=($D$175+$E$175)) AND $B$175=MIN($B$175:$B$190)
=SMALL($B$175:$B190,1)
This will incorrectly fill any item in column D that matches the minimum of column B.
=SMALL($D$175:$E$190,COUNTIF($D$175:$E$190,0)+1)<br>
This will incorrectly fill the minimum of column between columns D and E.
=$B$175=($D$175+$E$175) or <br>
=SMALL(($D$175:$D$190)+($E$175:$E$190), 1)
This will incorrectly fill all rows of columns D and E.
=$B$175=MIN(($D$175:$D$190)+($E$175:$E$190), 1)<br>
This will not fill any rows column between columns D and E.
I know I'm close, but can't seem to figure it out!
You just need to check that the value in B is the SMALL of $B$175:$B$190. You don't need to consider the sum of E and F.
=$B175=SMALL($B$175:$B190,1)
Looking for Excel conditional formatting help.
Need to highlight Max Date from Column B if Column A has same values.
For Example; in column A value of "16870288"; "2018/07/20" should be highlighted in column B.
Any help is appreciated.
Sorted as shown (ie ColumnA grouped together and within that ColumnB ascending), then a CF formula rule of:
=A2<>A3
applied in B2 and to the range B2:Bn where n is what suits, should serve.
Create a conditional formatting rule for column B based on a MAXIFS formula. If you don't have the newer MAXIFS function, create a pseudo-MAXIFS with INDEX or AGGREGATE.
=AND($B1<>"", $B1=AGGREGATE(14, 7, B:B/($A$1:$A$9999=$A1), 1))
I have a table with times of actions and I want to highlight rows that are more than 20-ish minutes more than the one above.
The actual number of minutes is less important.
For that I use conditional formatting with the formula:
=F3-F2>0,01766
So far so good.
But now if I apply filter on the table the the formula does not work anymore because it looks at the hidden rows.
Only the first highlight is made by the conditional formatting the other two are done by me.
Is it possible to get conditional formatting to look at the visible rows only?
I was able to come up with a solution only by using a special columns for the filtered index. In my example, i am filtering the data by '1', So i will add '1' in Column L. If you have multiple filters, you can add in the next rows in col L.
Col H checks if cell in Col E exists in the filters list
Col I finds the last row that is not filtered. The formula has to be entered as an Array Formula i.e. enter the formula and press Ctrl Shift Enter
Col J checks if the difference between cells in Col F for the current row and the last not filtered row is between 20 and 21 minutes. Conditional formatting is applied for this cell being true
Below image without applying any filter
After adding '1' as filter
Filtered rows hidden
Formula
Here is a Google Sheet
Note that SUBTOTAL() has options for ignoring hidden rows: this gives you a way to create a formula-based helper column for determining whether or not a row is filtered out....
Note Col C is an Array formula
After filtering for "A" only:
This way you can filter on multiple columns if required.
This one might be a trivial one:
I have an excel with three columns
Column A - Date
Column B- Values
Column C - Values
I want to view only the rows where Column B value > Value of Column C
Have tried conditional formatting and custom filter, however didnt succeed. Very likely that am not doing in the correct way. Thanks in advance
In a fourth column, put =IF(B# > C#,"TRUE","FALSE").
Then select all four columns, go to Data > Filter, then filter based on TRUE.
I've a Excel file with three columns. Cells in each columns are different ranges for example column A has 797340 cells, column B has 91617 cells and column C has 95891 cells. I need to compare each value in column A and look if this value is on column B or it's in column C and if the condition is TRUE then bold the cell or change the color to red. If there any way to achieve this using Excel formulas? Any help?
You can use conditional formating. Kindly refer to below image. Its just a demo.
Select Column A> Goto Conditional Formatting >> New Rules >> Use Formula to determine which
cells to format
Enter the formula in >> Format values where formula
is true >> select the format >> OK
=OR( IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,B:B,2,0)),FALSE,TRUE),IF(ISNA(VLOOKUP(A1,C:C,3,0)),FALSE,TRUE))
To make life easy use conditional formatting and apply your own custom rule.

Unless there is a reason you need to handle this with code, you can set conditional formatting within excel based on a formula.
For example, you can create a new conditional formatting rule based on a formula such as:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP([Cell in Column A],[Column B Range],1,FALSE)),"FALSE","TRUE")
This formula will return true when a matching value is found in column B.
Then simply apply the same rule again for column C.
Apply this rule to the entire range of your column A cells, and set the conditional formatting to return bold and red when true.
Good luck!
Example with ranges in one worksheet:
Formula as applied is
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP($B3,$F:$F,1,FALSE)),"FALSE","TRUE")
