    Re: Excel formatting formula help

    This requires 3 dummy columns but should work a lot faster than the array solution I gave earlier.
    In your example, in U2 copied down
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF(COUNTIF($U$1:U1,A2)>0,"", A2)

    In V2 copied down
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF(LEN(U2)>1,IF(ISERROR(FIND("-",U2)),COUNTIF($U$2:$U$200, U2&"-*")+1, COUNTIF($U$2:$U$200, MID(U2,1, FIND("-",U2))&"*")+1),"")
    In W2 copied down
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =IF(ISNUMBER(V2),IF(V2=1, "", MID(U2,1, FIND("-",U2&"-")-1)&TEXT(V2-1,"-00")),"")

    Then the conditional formatting rule is
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2,$W:$W,0))
