Default Coding Question

I have an excel spreadsheet returned from my database which, among other data
elements, provides the following critical data:

Household Unique (hlduniq) in Column A
House Number (housenum) in Column E
Streetname (streetname) in Column F

Is it possible to write coding to return records of duplicate addresses?
What I was thinking of doing was writing something to say if house number is
the same and the first 5 characters of streetname are the same and household
unique is different, then return the record for resolution.

In the end, in one school building, I have over 10,000 student records to
look through to see if the street number and street name are the same and the
household ID is different, then I have a duplciate household in my system.
Is there a way I can write code to look at my data for me and return the
records the coding finds fits my criteria so I do not have to look through
10,000 records by hand? I am an extreme novice at this so any assistance you
can provide to help me learn how to write this type of logic would be most
appreciated. Thanks for reading this post.
