Flagging duplicates if 2 criteria match
Hi!
I'm trying to build a formula that will identify duplicates from 2 different columns on the same sheet. So the combination of both need to be repeated. The columns are [RCPT] and [1st Test].

Hey there. I'd create a helper column named "Key" to combine the two values together. Add this formula in and convert it to a column formula. =RCPT@row + [1st Test]
Then create the duplicate check column named "Dup Check". Add this formula in and convert it to a column formula. =COUNTIF(Key:Key, Key@row)
Then set a conditional Format on this field so if it is greater than 1, highlight it yellow.
Is that what you were looking for?
