Column A of my workbook has a series of serial numbers. I would like to be able to either highlight the cell of bold the text when a serial numbers has been entered more than once within column A.

Thanks,
Noir

Noir,

Try this conditional formatting

=countif(A:A,a1)>1

Suppose your values are in cells A2:A11, then use Conditional|Formatting -- put the following formula for cell A2

=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$11,"="&$A2)>1

Hope This Helps!
