MS Excel how to create a macro to find duplicates and highlight them?

Question

How can I create a macro in MS excel to find duplicates in a spreadsheet and highlight it

Answer 1

Ross Larson answered this question here: Finding duplicate rows in excel

Quoting from his answer, "The absolute fastest and easiest way. Conditional formatting, highlight duplicates (on the ID column). Then filter the column (presumably in a table) by the coloring (above the check boxes)."

Yesterday, I personally tried this out and it worked great. No need to write a macro or fancy VBA script. Just use the Excel out-of-the-box functionality.

The answer Paul Rayner gave in 2010 has a broken link. The Ross Larson link is still working - at least for now.
