Just use: =countifs($B$2:$B$1000,$B2,$C$2:$C$1000,$C2)=1 Asa From: Asa Rossoff [mailto:a...@lovetour.info] Sent: Tuesday, October 04, 2011 9:40 PM To: 'excel-macros@googlegroups.com' Subject: RE: $$Excel-Macros$$ Help, Alert MsgBox Pair duplicate entry in row Hi Chil, I didn't realize you were looking for a pair of cells matching to determine duplicates when I suggested the data validation rule using countif. You can modify that data validation rule using a sumproduct formula that will search for that pair of data. This validation rule works for me: =SUMPRODUCT(($B$2:$B$1000=$B2)*($C$2:$C$1000=$C2))=1 Apply this formula with the other info in my first post and I think you'll be set. Sumproduct works because it takes as arguments one or more arrays, and can be used as an alternative way to specify an array formula like this one.
