I have a a column of data with a range of dates that repeats. I'd like to apply conditional formatting to the duplicated dates, except for the first date, but in such a way that when the range of dates repeats, this formatting continues to highlight in the same manner. Assuming the data below starts in cell A2, I'm using COUNTIF($A$2:$A2, $A2)>1. As of now, once "Sunday, November 12, 2017" repeats towards the bottom of the column, all of the values are subject to the conditional format of red fill.
Like this?
The CF formula is
=AND(COUNTIF($A$2:$A2,$A2)>1,A2=A1)
See how 12-Nov comes around a second time and the first line of the second batch is not red.
