Of course, you can do it.

Select a sufficiently large range in the right column (for example A2:A500).

Apply a conditional formatting to the selected range:

  1. With the formula

    COUNTIF($[First cell]:[Current cell];[Current cell])>1 Conditional Formatting vs Formula

or 2. With special condition "duplicated values"

Conditional Formatting vs Condition

(IMHO, this conditional formatting not will be saved in the final document - when you open the table you will need to redefine it)
