    Isolate Duplicates in Column B if Column A also Duplicate

    My database got messed up. Our clothing styles come in sizes small, medium, large. Somehow a few hundred styles all got the same size attached to them. I need to isolate these styles that have duplicate sizes.

    Attached is an example of the output I'm looking for.

    Thanks!
