Step1: Select the coulmn or row in which you want to Find Duplicacy Value.

Step2:Select Conditional Formatting from Home tab in office ribbon Button.

Step3:From the menu appeared through step2,Select New Rule option.

Step4:Select Rule Type as "Format only unique or Dulicate Value"

Step4:Keep Format All as "Duplicate" & Select Format option and give the font style or colour you want the Excel to give for all duplicate values.

Step5;Select Ok and you would see the format you desired for all duplicate values.

Note:If value "1" appears twice in your coulmn selected then format you desired would appear for all values,in you case all value  "1" will be given the format you so desired.
