    Conditional Formatting of Rows. Too many duplicates!

    Hi All,

    I'm trying to use Conditional Formatting to highlight and differnces in each row of three columns of data. So in the example below I would want to highlight from the first row 1, second row I want to highlight 2, thrid row 3 and 6, fourth row there would be nothing to highlight and so on.

    I tried to use duplicate as a reverse function but when I've copied the cells down it highlights practically all the numbers as its looking at the whole set rather than individual rows.

    Not quite sure what the formula would be just for a row?

    Many thanks in advance

    ABC
    122
    121
    136
    444
    555
    111
    121

    Correction: You actually want to highlight row 7, not row 6, row 6 is 111 and you are highlighting a complete row when there is a difference on that row

    Select the entire range

    Conditional Formatting
    New Rule
    Use a formula to determine...

    =COUNTIF($A1:$C1,$A1)<>3

    Format as required

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
