Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Put this is cell D1 and copy down for all rows:
Code:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A:A,A1,B:B,B1,C:C,C1)>1,"Duplicate","Not Duplicate")

Mr. Joe4

Although it is using a lot of resources (i.e taking bit of time when running over 14k rows) it worked perfectly. My sincere gratitude for taking time and providing solution. You are a champ!!

You are welcome.

You might be able to get it to run a little faster by putting in the exact range references instead of the whole column, i.e.
Code:
=IF(COUNTIFS([COLOR=#ff0000]$A$1:$A$15000[/COLOR],A1,[COLOR=#ff0000]$B$1:$B$15000[/COLOR],B1,[COLOR=#ff0000]$C$1:$C$15000[/COLOR],C1)>1,"Duplicate","Not Duplicate")
