Hi,

I am in desperate need.
I have a file which looks similar to the data below:

ABCDE
201409303344XYZ141AAB7
201404303344XYZ141AAB7
201409303344XYZ2196AAB7
201404303344XYZ2196AAB7
201409303344XYZ21345T2FG
201404303344XYZ21345N8J5
201409303344FFM58461B7GT
201404303344FFM58461N8J5

<tbody>
</tbody>



I have the file sorted by column D and then E, but what I need to identify next is whats difficult. I need to validate if the same code (column E) and same account (column D) appear in both April and September (column A). If so I need that highlighted so i can delete the data.

Basically, I need to keep any rows where column B, C & D are the same but column E are different based on the date in column A.

I know how to use conditional formatting to delete duplicate rows, but that's not what i need to do because of my requirement of column A.

Please let me know if you have any ideas, the file is very large and i need to finish this before tomorrow a.m...eeek!!

cheers!!
