Highlight duplicate cell in another sheet in Excel - Excel Tips and Tricks

Learn how to highlight duplicate cell in another sheet in Excel.

To highlight duplicate cells in another sheet in Excel, start by selecting the range of cells where you want the duplicates highlighted. Then, navigate to the "Conditional Formatting" option in the toolbar and choose "New Rule." Select "Use a formula to determine which cells to format" and input the condition, where "OtherSheetName" is the name of the sheet containing the data to be compared. This checks for duplicates between the current sheet and the specified sheet. Apply the desired formatting style, and duplicates will be highlighted accordingly. To identify duplicates between two Excel sheets, follow the same steps but adjust the condition to compare between the two sheets. This method allows for efficient comparison and highlighting of duplicate cells across different sheets in Excel.

Here are steps outlined in my vide.

Highlight duplicate cell in another sheet
1) Go to Sheet 416A

11) OK


Let's break down this formula

=ISNUMBER(MATCH(A2, '416B'!$A$2:$A$10, 0))

1) MATCH(A2, '416B'!$A$2:$A$10, 0): This part of the formula searches for the value in cell A2 of the current worksheet within the range '416B'!$A$2:$A$10, which represents the range of cells in column A of the worksheet named "416B". The MATCH function returns the relative position of the value within the specified range. The third argument 0 indicates an exact match.
2) ISNUMBER(): This function is wrapped around the MATCH function. It checks if the result of the MATCH function is a number. If MATCH finds a match, it returns the relative position of the value. If it doesn't find a match, it returns the #N/A error. ISNUMBER then converts this result into either TRUE (if the value is found) or FALSE (if it's not found).
