In my spreadsheet, column B contains part codes that repeat per how many versions I have. Column D contains the version.

We have acquired a ton of duplicates and I would like to flag them in column E. Below is the result I am aiming for. Basically, if any of the versions are duplicate, flag all.

Thanks, that worked great except in the case of "ijkl". I need to flag all 4, not just the ones that are duplicated. My original post also contains an error on the last 4 rows: the issue column cells should say "duplicate" and not "ok".

So if any of the part codes are duplicates all are duplicates regardless of version number?

maybe
Code: 
=IF(OR(COUNTIFS($B$2:$B$15,B2,$D$2:$D$15,D2)>1,AND(B2=B1,E1="Duplicate")),"Duplicate","OK")

Ah, I just realized a level of complexity to this that I did not include in my example. The same version number can occur on different product codes, so going off of count isn't very accurate. Here is updated data.

Note 1 - "ijkl" has 4 lines, 2 duplicated and 2 unique, but all are marked "Duplicate" because there is a duplicate associated with the part code.
Note 2 - "qrst" is all "Ok" even though the version numbers are also in "abcd", "efgh" and "ijkl"

So sorry for the confusion on this thread. This was a bigger mess than I realized.

The formula posted above should work. It is checks both the part code and the version.
