Hello,
I was trying to search up on this forum but I couldn't find anything so I apologize if there has been a question like this but I am having a problem with conditional formatting.

I want to fill entire rows that have any repeating values in column D which are in a table with 1176 rows.

I've tried using
= $D$2:$D$1176 = $D2
in the formula conditional formatting but clearly I have failed lol.

Is there any way of solving this problem just using conditional formatting?

Thank you in advance,
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Select the RowHeader of rows 2:1176

then
Try using FormulaIs and in Text box enter

=COUNTIF($D$2:$D$1176,$D2)>1

Format.. Select Fill Color, then OK, OK (out)

Wow, works perfectly. and there are some values which are texts... (such as "<10")

Is it possible to apply rules for that as well?
cuz it doesn't seem to be working for the texts.

Thank you so much!
