    I don't see 38 en 39 are duplicated.

    nr 37 is duplicated.

    See the attachment.

    Hi

    Comparing with all three columns? Or just column A?

    Well row 38 is duplicated to row 39

    row 38 column c has the number 8259772,
    row 39 column c has the number 000000008259772,

    The last 7 digits are an exact match,. which indicates that its a duplicate

    Column a, shouldnt be included in the search

    it should only focus on column c and d

    column c and need there own look up, as there is no comparision between the 2 numbers
