I'm wondering if theres a way that I can remove duplicates or apply conditional formatting to columns where the values in two columns are identical to those in another row. For example, I would want the formulat to be able to identify that A1 and B1 were identical to B1 and B2. However, it should not trigger a duplicate for any of the other rows including Addidas as there are not other duplicate matches for the year as well as the company.

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Hi
If you have Excel 2010 or later, just select your whole range of data and then from the Data tab select Remove Duplicates.
