Removing duplicate cells

I have scoured the threads and I still haven't reached a resolution to the following issue.

I am creating a dashboard and one of the sections has a rollup by Part Type. I used an Index/Match combo to Rank the number of parts that appear as the Top 3. Of course, this produced duplicates in some categories. Any solution I have read only considers either 2 columns of data or assumes the duplicates are by row but my data is in a 22x6 matrix. How can I use a formula or a macro to pluck out all duplicates that appears in a category or basically at the row level but across multiple columns (at least 4).

Basically I want to compile the total results for each row (item type) into a consolidated Top 3 without duplicates.
