Default How do I find duplicate rows in a list in Excel, and not delete it

I have a long list of data in Excel that is 3 columns wide. I need to find
and save only the duplicate rows but don't want to delete them. Instead, I
could delete the unique rows and keep the duplicate rows. In the customer
assistance, I found out how to delete duplicate rows and save the unique
rows, but this is exactly opposite of what I want to do.

This is one option:
=COUNTIF($A$4:$A$18,A4)1
copy down, and use a Autofilter to find all True

You could try putting an "X" in the fourth column when there is a duplicate
then go thru the list deleting rows that don't have an "X"
