Identify Duplicate rows across multiple columns

I have the data below where I want to identify duplicate journals. The fields "Account" , "Account Number" and "Amount" need to be same for a journal to be same. For e.g

  • The journals 1, 2, 4 and 5 are same. 
  • 3 and 6 are same
  • 7 and 8 are unique

 

Journal NumberAccountAccount numberAmount
1Revenue1000-100

1VAT3000-20
2Revenue1000-100

Hi @Data_Alter ,

 

This is relatively straightforward but I think your numbers are incorrect. As you can see in the image below of your data, you have this combination as 4 when I can see 5 combinations:

The workflow is as follows:

The workflow is attached.

 

I hope this helps.
