Default Matching pairs of Data in cell

Your posting is a bit vague so I don't know if this will help or not.
If your data is is a single column, say A, in another column like D you can
put the formula:

=countif(A:A,A1) This would be in D1. Drag it down the length of your
spreadsheet. It will count the number of times something will appear inthe
column.

Using conditional formatting highlight column A.
Use the formula:
=D12
Set the color of the font to WHITE. (not automatic)
The range should be A:A

Good day, i would like a solution to this problem. i have a set of data in a
spreadsheet, these could be repeated, what i would like to display pairs of
these data only, so anything that has no match or if there are more than two
of them it will and only display one pair and ignore everything else.
