    Lightbulb Conditional formatting to colour duplicates that are positive and negative

    Hi guys,

    I have a list I download every month of 3000 lines and want conditional formatting to highlight the cells that are matching (however the numbers in my data are positive and negative - all 3000 entries are in one column always.

    My data starts from cell W10 and goes down to W3010, for proposed solutions!

    I have had a search on the forum but can't get any fixes to work, so please can you help

    Thanks Adam

    Re: Conditional formatting to colour duplicates that are positive and negative

    Assuming that the values in the cells are positive or negative numbers, and nothing else, try this:

    Highlight W10:W3010 > Conditional Formatting > New Rule > Use a formula
    =COUNTIFS(W$10:W$3010,W10)+COUNTIFS(W$10:W$3010,-W10)>1
    Format: Fill color of your choice > OK > OK
