The answer in this question Highlighting Duplicate Rows in Google Sheets works perfectly to highlight the duplicate cells in a column. What I'm wanting to do is one step futher and highlight the rows that each of those duplicated cells are in.
So if I've got duplicated cells in column c that are highlighted, how do I also highlight the rows?
Thanks!
Here's the current formatting I have to highlight duplicates in Column C.
Current conditional formatting equation
Change Apply to range to A1:Z (change Z to last column you want to highlight). And change the Custom formula to =countif($C:C,$C1)>1. You need to use the absolute reference ($).

I am trying to create a formula that concatenates cell values if the ticked box is TRUE Please see attached image click here to see the image
What I am trying to do is to concatenate in one string columns B and C from every row if the checkbox in column A is selected, and have them separated by a ",". You can in cell G2 an example of the final result I am trying to achieve.
You can find the google sheet in this link https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hwm4Q89qj3ko2vJ4OASWmgz4VQr_uUaP7E7AmVdl8Ks/edit?usp=sharing
Thanks in advance.
try:
=ArrayFormula(TEXTJOIN(",",1,IF(A4:A,B4:C,)))
You can try this sheet formula first.
=IF(A4="","",IF(A4=TRUE,TEXTJOIN(",",True,B4,C4),""))
This formula has nested IF's just for additional checker to check if the first column has a value and would return blank just for it to be dynamic. You can drag the formula down to adjust the cells.
Sheet sample:
I need to set up conditional formatting in Google Sheets to highlight an entire row if the text in column D is not found in column C in each row.
Custom formulas tried:
=COUNTIF($C:$C,$D2)
tested to get the rows to highlight if the cells in column C are the same as column D. This worked (but I need it to highlight the opposite rows - if they are not equal) if there is only one entry in column D.
=AND($C2<>"", NOT(COUNTIF($C2,$D2)))
I would like to highlight every row where the numbers in Columns F and G match. This works perfectly, with text (a-z), as answered in this thread:
Google Sheets Conditional Formatting based on two cells
But, I am not sure how to make it work when it's a number. Any advice appreciated!
Apply custom-formula conditional formatting of =$F1=$G1 to the whole range you wish to affect.
Change the 1's to the row number that is the first row in your selected range. E.g. If applying to A5:H, the formula would be =$F5=$G5.
I have a spreadsheet that has dates in row 1 and data in the rows below it. I want to highlight the entire column that has a date that is today, or within the last 7 days.
I've been searching and I keep finding examples of how to highlight a row, but not a column.
Please try selecting all cells and: Format - Conditional formatting..., Custom formula is and:
=and(A$1>today()-7,A$1<today()+1)
with highlighting of your choice. Done.
In this case the row is anchored, I agree more usual to anchor ($) the column.
I'm trying to write a script in Google Sheets that finds duplicates between 2 columns and highlights the entire row to indicate a duplicate. Here is the trick:
I have several columns in my sheet but am only comparing 2 of them for duplicates. Lets say column A and B.
If a value in column A is found to be a duplicate of column B, it should highlight the entire row (or at least columns A, B, and C).
The duplicate in column B will also need to be highlighted but only after 3 duplicates in in column A have been found. In other words, it will be highlighted for every 3 duplicates that are found.
Currently, I have a script that highlights duplicates but it only highlights the specific cell when I'd like multiple cells in the column to be highlighted. Additionally, duplicates for one of the columns are highlighted only after 3 duplicates are found.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The first part is easy:
Custom formula:
=$A2=$B2
Apply to Range:
A2:D13
Enter in A2 (Assumes a header row). Change D to last column.
The second part is a little hard to understand, but this should give you an idea. It checks column C for three duplicates and highlights the cell. Add to C2:
Custom formula:
=countif($C2:$C,$C2)>2
Apply to:
C2:C13
