Let's say the columns are A and B, with data starting in row 2.
Select rows 3 and down. The active cell in the selection should be in row 3.
On the Home tab of the ribbon, click Conditional Formatting &gt; New Rule...Select 'Use a formula to determine which cells to format'.Enter the formula
=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A2, $A3, $B$2:$B2, $B3)
Click Format...Activate the Fill tab.Select a highlight color.Click OK, then click OK again.
