Highlight Duplicates in Google Sheets SHORTS || Use Conditional Formatting to Find Duplicates

When you have data in a column in Google Sheets that contain duplicate values, you may want to highlight them for further analysis or deletion. A quick way to do that is by using Conditional Formatting. Go to Format -- Conditional Formating -- Use Custom Formula.
The formula is =countif(range,first cell) more than 1
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$10,A2)morethansymbol1)
The range has to have $ signs.

    yes, that is correct =countif($A$2:$A$84,A2)>1, but make sure you replace the column and row reference that applies to your worksheets. If you need to run it in column C with 100 rows or data, change it to =countif($C$2:$C$100,C2)>1

    Wrote the formula as in video and applied to the selected column and range, did the same steps and somehow it tells me the formula is invalid :(

    HI @florasworld390, Is your formula: =COUNTIF($A$2:$A$10,A2)>1) Check that the starting range $A$2 the same as the second part of the formula A2, Check that you have $ signs around the range Can you share your formula? Just paste what you have in your worksheet in the replay and tell me what is your Range for testing, and I will take a look.

    You can use the SORT function: Assuming your data is in columns A and B, with headers in the first row: Select the range of data you want to sort (excluding the headers). For example, if your data is in A2:B50, select that range. Choose an empty column where you want the sorted data to appear. Let's say you want it in columns D and E. In cell D2 (or any other empty cell in column D), enter the following formula: =SORT(A2:B50, 1, TRUE) This formula sorts the range A2:B50 based on the values in column A (Country) in ascending order (TRUE).

    How to highlight capital letters in Google sheets ?

  • @akistepinska

    @akistepinska

    9 ай бұрын

    Set the Custom Formula to =EXACT(UPPER(A1), A1) Change the A1 to the start of your range, so if you are looking for capital letters in column B, starting with B1, change it to B1. This will only work if ALL the letters are capitalized. Cheers!🍀

    You can't do that with a custom conditional formatting formula adding a color scale or different color to each duplicate. I found this rather complex solution on StackOverflow, which involves script and array formula. It may be worth it for a large data set, but otherwise, it is a lot of work. ⤜(⚆ᗜ⚆)⤏ stackoverflow.com/questions/37074989/google-sheets-color-duplicates-uniquely
