Hi Robert,

You could sort the table on cols B, C, D then put a formula in col E to
check if the previous row is the same as the current.  In Row 2 this might
read:
=if(AND(b1=b2,c1=c2,d1=d2),"Duplicate",""). Copy this down and all the rows
which are duplicates will be marked.  What you do after this depends on what
you want to do with the information (if you then want to keep the
"Duplicate" mark against the rows, you'll need to copy col E and 'Paste
Special|Values' over the top of the formulae to retain the 'Duplicate' tag
when you re-sort on col A)

HTH

Andrew
