I know how to conditionally format for duplicates. Is there a way I can format only those text values that show up, say, 4x or more, instead of 2?
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest
How about
=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$200,A2)>3

sorry, I'm having trouble with this. Why do I need two arguments? I only need to look at entries B1:B50.

In that case use
Select B1:B50 then in conditional formatting > New rule > Use a formula
=COUNTIF($B$1:$B$50,B1)>3
