I'd like to highlight rows that contain 3 of the same number. How can I do this?

To highlight rows that contain 3 of the same number do the followings:

enter image description here

  • Select A1:D4.
  • Go to Conditional Formating.
  • Select New Rules & use this Formula.

=AND(ISNUMBER(A1), COUNTIF(1:1,A1)=3)

  • Apply color format & finish with Ok.

N.B. Adjust Cell & Row references in formula as needed.

In the next column over in F1, enter the following and fill down:

=MAX(COUNTIF(A1:E1,A1),COUNTIF(A1:E1,B1),COUNTIF(A1:E1,C1),COUNTIF(A1:E1,D1),COUNTIF(A1:E1,A1))

The CountIF statements look in turn for matches for each value on the line, then the Max statement says which of the duplicates had the highest count. You'll be able to see the rows with 3 of the same number straight away and then use conditional formatting to highlight yellow if you need.
