I have a report showing burglary locations within a city. I would like and duplicate addresses to be highlighted in some way so that we can easily see when an address is repeatedly burglarized. I can't figure out how to write the formula. Thanks
 
If you're sorted by the address, then you can use:

Use the previous({Table.Address}) = {Table.Address} in the formatting section of choice to highlight it.

Now you have to decide what highlighting means, does that mean a colorized background? If so, use:

Right click the field->Format Field->Border->X-2 next to Background:

if previous({Orders.Order Date}) = {Orders.Order Date} then
