    conditional formatting for multiple double values (if date and student number are the same

    Dear, I have an excel in which exams are planned. Now it must be prevented that students are planned on the same day and take an exam. I want to do this with a conditional formatting. If both the student number and the date are the same, then the date field must be red.

    Use this in Conditional formatting:

    =COUNTIFS($F$2:$F$1000,$F2,$B$2:$B$1000,$B2)>1
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel
