I'm genuinely sorry, I don't know why I said "numbers." I tried it again, and the only difference now is that yours highlights all duplicates, whereas when I used it, only one of the duplicates was highlights. Although, the duplicated issue is still highlighted. Which is nonetheless, helpful, so thank you.
