    Set up avoid duplicate problem

    Dear All

    Encl pls find the excel file for your reference.

    I have problem to avoid duplicate in Column F.
    The result of Column F is combination of Column B, D & E

    I have no problem to set up the data validation on column F .
    If I type manually on Column F, they have no problem to show error message & refuse the data;

    However, it does not work when I change the value on either B, D & E even the result are the same on column F.
    Can everybody can assist ? Tks in advance

    For B2:B....,D2:d..., and E2:E..., apply custom data validation with the formula

    =COUNTIF($F:$F,$F2)=1
