Highlighting duplicates across many sheets

[jpeevy]

I have seen many posts on this topic, but so far nothing has worked.
have about 13 sheets of data, for which I am only concerned with colum
D. I want to highlight any duplicate entries in column D from sheet
through 13 (I have renamed them)--only highlight, as I want to revie
them before deleting. A clear guide would be much appreciated.

Thanks a lot

You could use ConditionalFormatting (CF)...

Select column D (entire column)
In the CF dialog:
Select Formula is from the dropdown
Enter: =countif($D:$D,$D1)>1
Click the Format... button and choose the pattern you want

Repeat this for each sheet...

Is jpeevy in D3 of Sheet9 considered a duplicate of jpeevy in D26 of
Sheet4?

Or just a duplicate on its own sheet?
