How to Highlight Duplicate Data in Google Sheets
HOW TO HIGHLIGHT DUPLICATE CONTENT
This works by color coding duplicates so you can easily check them. This formula is the simplest and most effective.
Step 1 : Open the spreadsheet
Step 2 : Select the column you want to highlight
Step 3 : Select Format on the toolbar and then select Conditional Formatting
Step 4 : In the Apply to range section , the data column you selected above will be automatically added.
Step 5 : In ' Format cells if' we change the value here to 'Custom formula is'
Step 6 : Enter the following in the box below: '=countif(A:A,A1)>1'
Step 7 : In the Formatting Style section , you can change the color to fill the cells. Here I choose red. Then click Done to complete.
Now the duplicate data will be highlighted in red immediately. Now you can check again if this data needs to be deleted or not.
