Microsoft Excel can find duplicates easily with Conditional Formatting. The issue is Conditional Formatting finds duplicates based on the cell value, but I want to find duplicate rows. I use three methods in the video to find duplicate rows. I start off with CONCATENATE, then use the TEXTJOIN function, and finally COUNTIFS with no helper column. To highlight the rows I use Conditional Formatting using a formula.

Chapters:

02:39 Method 2 - TEXTJOIN

05:23 Method 3 - COUNTIFS with no helper column
06:14 Closing remarks

CONCATENTATE in Excel
Use CONCATENATE, one of the text functions, to join two or more text strings into one string. You can use an ampersand also. Example: cell A2 has Chris and cell B2 contains Menard. =a2&" "&B2 will return Chris Menard in cells C2. Same for row 3. In cell C3, could use =CONCATENTATE(A3," ",B3) to get Chris Menard
