Microsoft has introduced several revolutionary new features in Excel in recent years. In particular, Microsoft’s Copilot feature uses AI to help with Excel tasks. However, there might be another Excel feature that is even more impressive.
This month’s highlights
Perhaps every month you wonder how sales have gone compared to the same month last year. This post demonstrates one way of automatically highlighting the comparison using conditional formatting. Also, just because we can, we’ve used an example based on a PivotTable to demonstrate the technique.

Listing Duplicates
This article introduces a dynamic Excel 365 formula to accurately identify duplicates in lists containing numbers, text, and entries with leading zeroes—where traditional methods like COUNTIF fall short.

Archive and Knowledge Base
This archive of Excel Community content from the ION platform will allow you to read the content of the articles but the functionality on the pages is limited. The ION search box, tags and navigation buttons on the archived pages will not work. Pages will load more slowly than a live website. You may be able to follow links to other articles but if this does not work, please return to the archive search. You can also search our Knowledge Base for access to all articles, new and archived, organised by topic.
