I want to have Conditional Formatting apply a color to rows when a word shows up in one particular column, but only when there is more than once instance of that word in the column. So for example if the word "Sapphire" appears once, then the Conditional Formatting will do nothing, but if it appears twice, it will color both "Sapphire" rows.
However I also need it to apply a DIFFERENT COLOR to each different duplicate/multiple. So if it detects two instances of "Sapphire" and colors them red, and two instances of "Vanguard" it needs to color them blue.
I tried the COUNTIF formula but it doesn't seem possible to apply different colors to different pairs of words. Someone suggested it may be possible with some sort of VLOOKUP formula but I was not able to get anywhere with that.
In this specific case, I want the formula to look at Column D (Carrier) and detect the duplicates/multiples, coloring the entire row with a unique color for each different duplicate/multiple.
Here's a link to a sheet that shows an example of what I'm hoping to achieve:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P0Jk2KjvBbP0Q1uA9DLh8Q42a0h4u7ZvQIW8G3fWZTE/edit?usp=sharing
In this example, in Column D (Carrier) since Sapphire, Bellring, and QuickOne are only found once, they have no formatting. Since Vanguard, Mantup, Renegade, Force are all found 2 or more times, they are colored in with a unique/different color for each word.
Ultimately I will be pulling from about 30-50 different words, so if there's a creative solution where I have to refer to pre-defined list, that would work (it doesn't have to support unlimited random words).
