hey mate, thanks for the info,

what would you do if you were trying to get a duplicate row of items that appear in any combination

such as:
row 1: a,a,a
row 2: a,b,c
row 3: c,b,a
row 4: b,b,b

in the above, I want to highlight row 2 and 3, any ideas?

Appreciate the thread and time taken to explain these solutions.
That said, I’m staggered that ‘duplication’ is not one of the drop down options like for example in excel. It seems like a fundamental offering that should be available.

In reply to Michael. Working with drop-down lists can be a little tricky, but you can often use the source cells from the drop-down list to check against. Check out the sections titled "Show Duplicates in Google Sheets With Added Criteria" as it shows how to add extra criteria to the search.

In reply to Muhammad. You can search the whole phrase or just part of the phrase. For instance if you just want to search for duplicates with the keyword "Ranboo" you can use that and then the * wildcard like Ranboo*

Hey, I’m facing little bit more complicated situation. I am working on too many keywords for my website. I have jackets selling website. I do keywords research and found some good keywords. But there are a lot of keywords which is repeating but not the whole keyword is repeating. A partial thing from keyword is repeating like:
Ranboo Bomber Jacket, Ranboo Varsity Jacket and Ranboo Letterman Jacket. These are 3 keywords but not 3 products. These are 3 different names of 1 product. It is case like BBQ and Bar Bi Que, Kids and Children. I mean, the different keywords with the same meaning. So, in this case I can’t remove these duplicates. How can I make my keywords unique?

Others seem to be copying one another but you obviously know what you are writing about.
This is such a comprehensive article I have seen on the subject of highlighting duplicates in Google Sheets, that I just had to write and say well done!

How about when the criteria can be from any of cells?

If there are 20 cells, and I need to check if there are duplicate entries on those non-contiguous cells, is there a way to check it that the criterion can be any entry from a drop-down list?

Hi, as of 21/02/2022, this formula seems to have stopped working on google sheets.

I also tried using “;” instead of “,” , but i get an error. and can’t click “Done” to apply the conditional format.

Please, any sugestions?
