Please reread my original request. I don't think you guys get what I'm
trying to do.

Record a macro while doing WHAT? I'm looking for a function or formula
that converts text to a number. Sort of like the CODE function but for more
that just the first letter of a cell.

I cannot manually mark each row to distinguish it. Again there will be
thousands of rows and hundreds of text combinations.

I can't mark thousands of rows every month, I want Excel do do the
marking/matching via a formula or macro.

Anything else?

You could mark entries which are duplicates by your rules. Would that be
OK.

For example, in a helper column or as a conditional formatting formula:

=COUNTIF($C$1:$C$10,B1&A1)

would be 1 or more if the reverse concatenation existed in column C
