Does anyone know how to highlight duplicate rows?
I can delete duplicate rows and highlight duplicate cells, but I want to highlight the rows that are exact duplicates of other rows.

A good tool indeed!

Let me give a suggestion for those who want to find duplicates within the combination of columns!

Create a sort of “Hash column” with the “=CONCATENATE()” function and apply the conditional formatting to it.

For instance, if you have a spreadsheet with 20 columns and you want to find the rows with the same information in, lets say, columns A, K and X.

Go into the next column available (21st) in the first line and put the function “=CONCATENATE(A1,K1,X1)”. Drag it down and excel will create the same formula for all the other rows.

Apply the formatting and voilà! Duplicated rows about those columns!
