First of all apologies if seemed to be duplicated on another forum but it don't seem to of posted on it and thus why coming to you.

UPDATE:-TOOK ITS TIME UPLOADING AND HERE IT IS...

Macro is not pointing out duplicated entries [SOLVED]

Hi First of all apologies but I posted on another forum too as thought it hadnt posted on here originally. Heres link https://www.mrexcel.com/board/threads/macro-dont-seem-to-be-pointing-out-duplicated-data.1162766/ I was given a macro by an ex work colleague but it dont seem to be doing...
www.excelforum.com


I was given the macro below of which should show up when missing from TAB or MISSING FROM STN of which works correctly. I had it given to me by a old colleague who now left.

I thought it was supposed to look in sheets called TAB and STN and if there any duplicated entries it list them in sheet 3.

Macro and workbook enclosed with a simplified description. Any Ideas?

Use this to find duplicates

VBA Code: 
Sub FindDupe()

Dim eRow As Long
Dim rngList As Range
Dim cell As Variant
Dim dList As Object
Dim wsTAB As Worksheet, wsSTN As Worksheet, ws3 As Worksheet

Set wsTAB = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("TAB")
Set wsSTN = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("STN")
Set ws3 = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet3")
Set dList = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

Set rngList = wsTAB.Range("A1", wsTAB.Cells(wsTAB.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
For Each cell In rngList
    If Not dList.exists(cell.Value & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & cell.Offset(0, 2).Value & cell.Offset(0, 3).Value) Then
        dList.Add cell.Value & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & cell.Offset(0, 2).Value & cell.Offset(0, 3).Value, cell.Row
    Else
        wsTAB.Range("A" & cell.Row, "D" & cell.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        wsTAB.Range("A" & cell.Row, "D" & cell.Row).Copy
        eRow = ws3.Cells(ws3.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
        ws3.Range("A" & eRow).PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
        ws3.Range("E" & eRow) = "DUPLICATE IN TAB"
    End If
Next

dList.RemoveAll
Set rngList = wsSTN.Range("A1", wsSTN.Cells(wsSTN.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp))
For Each cell In rngList
    If Not dList.exists(cell.Value & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & cell.Offset(0, 2).Value & cell.Offset(0, 3).Value) Then
        dList.Add cell.Value & cell.Offset(0, 1).Value & cell.Offset(0, 2).Value & cell.Offset(0, 3).Value, cell.Row
    Else
        wsSTN.Range("A" & cell.Row, "D" & cell.Row).Interior.ColorIndex = 6
        wsSTN.Range("A" & cell.Row, "D" & cell.Row).Copy
        eRow = ws3.Cells(ws3.Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row + 1
        ws3.Range("A" & eRow).PasteSpecial (xlPasteValues)
        ws3.Range("E" & eRow) = "DUPLICATE IN STN"
    End If
Next

@Zot has just provided code that looks far more efficient than yours.

FYI, it looks like the problem with your current code is this line, where the logic is not correct:

VBA Code: 
Case .AutoFilter.Range.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Cells.Count < _
      wsSTN.AutoFilter.Range.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Cells.Count
      ' STN count is greater so it's a duplicate

Assuming by duplicate, you mean a match across the two sheets TAB and STN, the test here should be:

Code: 
Case wsSTN.AutoFilter.Range.Columns(1).SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).Cells.Count > 1

If there is any line here in the filtered results, i.e. in addition to the one header line, it is necessarily a duplicate.

I don't know what you want to do about identifying records duplicated multiple times?
