Adding the ability to do conditional formatting by column, similar to how I would flag a column for duplicates in Microsoft Excel.
I have found workaround using Bing copilot, but I would like to have that feature out of the box
This would be really useful to have immediate functionality for this. There is a workaround where you use a helper column that is a checkbox that gets ticked using a formula that looks for duplicates. You can then apply conditional formatting on the rows that have the checkbox ticked. https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/73270/formula-for-duplicate-entries/p1

Is the functionality for real-time detection of duplicates on a roadmap, like how Excel auto-completes a cell if duplicate?
Hello - looking for a way to highlight duplicate values in a single column, dropdown style, with a random number of entries. Basically, we receive a document from several vendors, this document contains a random number of lot numbers. These lot numbers are pasted into a column as dropdown with multiple selection allowed - this is used to get a count of items in the cell. We need to analyze all items in each cell to see if there are any duplicates. If duplicate are found, then we have a problem as lot numbers should always be unique.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Please add this keyboard shortcut to…

In Resource Management, however, the system currently interprets allocations as a percentage of the full 7.5 hours, instead of the project‑eligible portion of a person’s day.…
Dashboard widgets are currently mostly static. I can display counts and charts, but I cannot click into a specific part of a widget to drill into the underlying records. It would be a big usability improvement if widgets supported interactive drill-down. For example: Click a bar segment (or stacked segment) to open the…
