    Yes it is possible, Home > Conditional Formatting > New Rule, select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" - See attached - select whatever format you require.

    Ok that worked great, with formatting the row, can I do the same with a duplicate, where it formats the row on the duplicates?

    Can you explain a little more what you are trying to do exactly or post a sample?

    To post a zipped example, go to “My Documents” or wherever you have your file stored, right-click and “Send to > Compressed file”, then attach this zipped file to your post.

    Conditional formats a row if the word "SPARE" is found in column B.

    My question is I want another conditional format to format the row if it finds duplicates in column B.

    \1

    In the picture I duplicated top prox and side prox, I would like those rows to format across, the entire row. So can I use some kind of Match array?

    Sorry I'm on a machine that has 2003, my machine at home as 2007.

    Can't you just add another rule as before?
