    Eg:BR-123 & BR-124 are similar ,but it cannot be Br-125 or BR - 126.

    Select A1:A9 and go to Format|Conditional Formatting

    Select Formula Is from 1st drop down and enter formula:

    =AND(EXACT(A1,UPPER(A1)),ISERROR(FIND(" ",A1)))

    then click Format and choose from Pattern tab.

    I think you'll have to use the NOT function to highlight the error cells

    =OR(NOT(EXACT(A1,UPPER(A1))),NOT(ISERROR(FIND(" ",A1))))
