  2. highlight the first column (A)
  3. find "Conditional Formatting"
  4. in the top menu bar > "Highlight cell rules" > "Duplicate Values". This will highlight all duplicates in the country code column.
  5. Once this is done you will see any countries that were provided twice. This file is invalid because of the duplicate value(s).
  6. You'll need to reach out to RRD to get the correct value for that row in the file.
