highlight cel with repeated number

[whitoulias]

Hello to all

I have the following table going down to 3000 rows

01/01/2013</SPAN>	6</SPAN>	17</SPAN>	21</SPAN>	26</SPAN>	35</SPAN>
01/01/2013</SPAN>	1</SPAN>	2</SPAN>	15</SPAN>	17</SPAN>	20</SPAN>
02/01/2013</SPAN>	7</SPAN>	10</SPAN>	15</SPAN>	25</SPAN>	31</SPAN>

<TBODY>
</TBODY><COLGROUP><COL><COL span=5></COLGROUP>

What i would like is a code checking whether a number/ or numbers is repated and then highlight it with any color.
For example the code will check the 2nd row for numbers repeating from the 1st row. Then it will check the 3rd row for numbers repeating from the 2nd line and so on.

Any ideas?

Thank you all

Assuming your data starts in row 1 and using 2007 or later

1) Highlight your data starting in B2:F3000
2) Select Home Tab
3) Select Conditional Formating
4) New Rule
5) Use a formula
6) =SUM(IF(B2=$B1:$F1,1,0))
7) Select to fill the cell with a color
