Yesterday I got some great advice about using conditional formatting (formula is =A2=A1) and font white to conceal duplicates that appear in a column (so a school name wouldn't be repeated until a cell with a new name).
That worked great for "school" and "course ID" because those are unique. But the column to the right of course ID is "Units." Is there a similar formula I can use so that it won't repeat "3" in that column until a new entry appears in the "course ID" column? So that it will display 3, then not display 3 again until a new course ID appears in the column to the left? Thanks again.

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Sure! Assuming the Course ID is in column C and the Units are in column D, the procedure is the same as your last question but instead of the formula =A2=A1 use =C2=C1 in the second cell of your data incolumn D.
