    Duplicate Matching With Multiple Criteria Across Multiple Worksheets

    I'm an ESL (English as a Second Language) elementary school teacher in Taiwan who is looking to make a mini dictionary (extended glossary) for my students.

    I have the raw data separated with one worksheet for each grade (6 grades in total).

    In each worksheet
    Column A = English words used in their books
    Column B = the part of speech (noun, verb, adjective etc.)
    Column C = the Chinese translation
    Column D = where I want a VBA script to tell me is a word has been previously taught.

    What I need now is to mark which words are duplicates in column D, but only where the text in all three of columns A B and C already exists in a previous grades worksheets.

    All three columns of a row need to match because the same English words can be the same part of speech have multiple meanings...
    e.g. tank = fish tank, army tank, water tank

    ... and the same Chinese translation can be used for multiple English words...
    pocket money = 零用錢, allowance = 零用錢

    I want to check for duplicates only against the words in the worksheets for grades they've already finished.
    e.g.
    I want to check the grade 2 words against the words in the grade 1 worksheet.
    I want to check the grade 3 words against the words in the grade 1 and 2 worksheets.
    I want to check the grade 4 words against the words in the grade 1, 2, and 3 worksheets. etc.

    Any help anyone could give me would be much appreciated.

    I've attached a miniature sample with only 3 grades, and 25 words per grade.

    Thanks in advance for looking at it.
