    Conditional formatting if one cell holds same data as another

    On my spreadsheet (example attached) i need to have my numbers (on right) highlighted if a number equals a number drawn (on left).

    I've attempted using a number of formula in the conditional formatting dialogue box (using 'use a formula to determine which cells to format'

    TIA

    Apologies - dinner bell rang

    use new rule with a formula to determine...etc. Start in BB2 and set to formula

    =COUNTIF($B2:$AX2,BB2)>0

    copy formatting from BB2 to CV18
