Hi,

I am in desperate need.
I have a file which looks similar to the data below:

[TABLE="width: 304"]
<colgroup><col><col><col><col span="2"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD]A[/TD]
[TD]B[/TD]
[TD]C[/TD]
[TD]D[/TD]
[TD]E[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]


I have the file sorted by column D and then E, but what I need to identify next is whats difficult. I need to validate if the same code (column E) and same account (column D) appear in both April and September (column A). If so I need that highlighted so i can delete the data.

Basically, I need to keep any rows where column B, C & D are the same but column E are different based on the date in column A.

I know how to use conditional formatting to delete duplicate rows, but
