    Compare and find the two different column repeated cell value

    Greetings,

    I do have colum A ( Tickets) & B ( Status) both have multiple repeated entried. But I have to get the output where the column A value & the status match as defined . Below is the example.

    Before:
    Column A Column B
    10001 Assigned
    10001 In-Progress
    10001 Completed
    10002 Assigned
    10002 In-Progress
    10002 In-Progress
    10002 In-Progress
    10002 Cancelled
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress


    I need to get a output :

    Column A Column B Column C
    10001 Assigned
    10001 In-Progress
    10001 Completed Completed
    10002 Assigned
    10002 In-Progress
    10002 In-Progress
    10002 In-Progress
    10002 Cancelled Cancelled
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress
    10003 In-Progress In-Progress


    OR

    High light the Colum B cell value instead on puting in to the Column C.

    In Column B use this rule for conditional formatting

    =COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)=COUNTIF(A:A,A1)

    format red

    Ace_XL ,

    You are really fentastic , you just did in a min. It works great . I have sorted both column and then applied you rule on B , then it highlighted the last cell on column B based on the column A.

    Cheers,
    DT.
