Unless I am doing it wrong nothing happens? There is an option to use a formula to determine which cells to format?Select Column C. Navigate to Conditional Formatting. Click New Rule. Select New Rule with Formula. Paste the formula below:
Define formatting.Excel Formula:=COUNTIF($AE:$AE,C1)>0
Still nothing. I will explain again. There could be anything from 1 to 10 cells/rows that match in C then it needs to look at AE for duplicate data amongst those rows, not the same as C, other types of data. Then moves onto the next set of rows where values are the same in C and so on...Discard it is in Turkish. The idea is the same.

I cant say that was very successful, it ran for about an hour and crashed excel. It was a big file to be fair. Is there a macro that will do the same?Could you try again? I forgot extra $ signs:
Excel Formula:=(SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(IF($C:$C=C1,$AE:$AE),IF($C:$C=C1,$AE:$AE),0),MATCH(IF($C:$C=C1,$AE:$AE),IF($C:$C=C1,$AE:$AE),0))>0,1))-1)<>COUNTIF($C:$C,C1)
