    Compare 2 other columns if first one matches

    Hi,

    I need a macro that will check a given sorted column say A and if a given condition matches i.e. if more than one subsequent cell has the same value then it should perform the following operation -

    Check if the respective cells in column B and C are the same for the same subsequent Cells in the same Column if so it should do nothing but if >=3 values of B or C are varying for the same value of A it should Flag those rows.

    Example:

    Row Nos; A;B;C;
    1;New Jersey;George;cats
    2;New Jersey;George cats
    3;New Jersey;Albert dogs
    4;New Jersey;Donald rats
    5;Texas Sally;cats
    6;Texas Sally;dogs
    7;Texas Robert;cats

    In this Example 1, 2, 3 and 4 should be flagged or selected but the remaining i.e. 5, 6, 7 should not be selected.

    I am working on data that contain 1-2 thousand rows and about 20 columns.

    As I am new to programming can someone please create something which I can test out and change things if required to get the desired result.

    Appreciate your help and cooperation in this matter.

    Thanks,
    Clive.

    Hi,

    Could someone please help me start something in this direction?

    When I use arrays I am able to get the entire column into an array but not a specific range within the column.

    Please help me out.

    Thanks,
    Clive.
