Change color of text or cell if the value entered is same Closed

Question

Hi! Can someone please share me how to change font or cell color if a value entered in a cell is already selected before. 

Ex. I wanted the font or cell  become red if the name "Peter" already exists in a column. So that I would know that the entry already exists or was doubled. 

Thank you so much.

Mark, Good morning.

Suppose your data is at A1:A10

Try to use:

Select A1:A10

Conditional Formating:
Formula:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10,A1)>1

Choose the color RED for FILL COLOR.

Please, tell us if it worked for you.
I hope it helps.
