So the following example would be a duplicate:
Column 2 / Sheet 1 was 123456 AND Column 3 / Sheet 1 was 4

then what is on column 2 sheet 1? <==== my question might seem irrelevant but believe me it is.

Sheet 1:
File Name | ID | Part |
A14141 | 1 | |
A32691 | 2 |
Sheet 2:
File Name | ID | Part |
A14141 | 6 | |
A32691 | 2 |
Hopefully this helps!
So Row one would NOT be a duplicate because it is a different part - but row 2 would because both column 2 AND 3 match

Hi Mollie1247
If both worksheets are formatted that way you can use power query to remove duplicates in a snap.

There's actually more than one sheet - but all will be compared to sheet 1.
All sheets vary from 50 rows - a couple of thousand....- Yea_SoMay 18, 2021Bronze Contributor
