Compare names from different months

[philb99]

I am trying to compare Names + Course from 2 different months and having issues with Conditional Formatting

Can someone advise me how to do this please. Looking to show which Names and Course are reported in Month 2 as well as Month 1 for the same Name and Course

Thanks

You can create a concatenate field next to you table, and then use conditional formatting for duplicate values (as long as their won't be a duplicate in the same month)

Alternatively you could try something like this:

Excel 2010
	L	M	N	O	P	Q
1	Table 1				Table2
3	Name	Course			Name	Course
4	Jim	English			Jim	English
5	John	Science			Mark	Science
6	Mark	Science			John	Math

N18	=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($L6=$P$4:$P$6)*($M6=$Q$4:$Q$6)),L6, "")
