Apply Conditional formatting for avoid Duplication

Here I am attached my worksheet 

We want to avoid duplication 

And also we have to copy and paste the row

 

 

  • Hi,

     

    You have a lot of exactly the same rules but applied only to some rows, not all of them

    Usually one colour - one rule is enough. If you apply one rule

    =$B4=OFFSET($B4,-1,0)

    to entire column

    it shall work. Please see attached.

  • Hi,

     

    Could you please clarify a bit, you'd like to highlite duplications by conditional formatting and after that the person will do corrective actions; or you'd like to prevent with data validation?

     

    - duplications of what?

    - what prevents you to copy/paste the rows?

      Hi,

      Thank You for your replay,

      Duplications of what?

      I want to know the duplicate value of the MI Number 

      For example ,

      I apply conditional formatting or data validation .

      I copy the data of row number"2715" and paste the data on next row "2716"

      at that time it does not working
