    colorize rows with similar sorted cells in column

    There are table with "Group" column and I have all values sorted.
    What formula should I use in conditional formatting to colorize whole row where similar Group values are identified?

    Would you be able to add a helper column?

    By adding a helper column, would the attached work?

    Actually, if you replace the formula in the conditional formatting to the following, a helper column is no longer necessary:
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    =MOD(SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF($C$3:$C3,$C$3:$C3)),2)=1

    Melvinrobb,

    Thanks for ideas!
    1. Helper column is not possible as data is dynamic and I can't change table...
    2. Something wrong with formula, in my document it doesn't work appropriate - sometimes it colorizes wrong rows in some reason

    Take a look at the attached file and see if it works.
    If it doesn't, please state what is not being applied appropriately, and what should be different.

    Yep, but change B15 to "EE" and colorizing won't change...

    Re: colorize rows with similar sorted cells in column

    My guess is that it is an array formula, and therefore not updating properly.
    If you were able to create a helper column, the first solution should work perfectly. The formula I put in column B would automatically change with the data, and you could simply move the column off screen, or hide it.
    Not sure of a solution otherwise.
