ctrl+shift+enter, not just enter
copy down

Good Morning All,

I have a spreasdheet with 3 columns. I would like to find the duplicate
entries in all 3 columns. I can find duplicate entries in 2 columns using
the Index and Match functions but don't know haw to find duplicates in 3
columns. Enclosed is a sample of what I would like to do:

Field 1 Field 2 Field 3 Duplicates
smith jones ellis ellis
ellis myers jacobs
daniles ellis gates

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
John
