Hi Raul,

The tricky part in your request in my opinion is the choice of colors.
I started out with orange, then realizing that the color needs to change or else your whole table might turn orange. So then I added a counter to change the ColorIndex number.

So you might want to full around with the ColorIndex a bit. If you need further assistance then let me know which colors you are looking for.

Here is the code:
Sub ColorDuplicate()
Dim lRow, x, y, z As Integer
Dim vCheck, wCheck As String

lRow = Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
x = 1
z = 0

    Do
    x = x + 1
    y = 1
    z = z + 1
    vCheck = Range("A" & x).Value & Range("C" & x).Value
    
        Do
        y = y + 1
        wCheck = Range("A" & y).Value & Range("C" & y).Value
        If vCheck = wCheck And x <> y Then
        Range(Cells(x, 1), Cells(x, 3)).Interior.ColorIndex = 45 + z
        Range(Cells(y, 1), Cells(y, 3)).Interior.ColorIndex = 45 + z
        End If
        Loop Until y = lRow
          
    Loop Until x = lRow

End Sub

Best regards,
Trowa

Thanks you very much Trowa,

by your help i have discover a formula if we put that in conditional formatting and use it in conditional formatting if formula is true:

=COUNTIFS($A$2:$A$999,A2,$C$2:$C$999,C2)

Then set the required format.

This will help our readers who are not comfortable with Macros. The drawback of this method is that we only use single color format.

Thanks again Trowa
