Tony2021 Never tried that before but perhaps like in the attached file.
If this is not what you had in mind, I'd suggest you look into Power Query. Much more flexible and robust for these kind of tasks. At least in my humble opinion.

The idea is to connect to the data, and do the necessary transformations, groupings etc. How exactly depends on the structure of the data. In your case I can imagine you select the columns you want to check. Merge them and then remove duplicates. But I might change my mind if I see the data. And, as always, there are probably many other ways to achieve something similar.
