What you ask for can be done by Summarize and Formula tools.
If this is what you need, appreciate if you could mark it as accepted

Hi @jonathanyeo
Here is a workflow for the task. It is pretty much same as @Qiu in addition it maintains the sort order.
Join tool randomizes your sort apparently.

Hello,
I was searching for a solution and I found this replies which are little closed to what I expect. However, my issue is that am building an analytical app and I get different data from various clients.
I am looking for a solution where I can use formula tool and write a condition that identifies all duplicates and should FLAG them in my output report, without disturbing the input data. This will help me to reach out the client and seek more clarification on duplicate data provided is legitimate or not
All this should be within the APP and should include in my output report
Regards,
Surya

What if the source data that I have has multiple fields, and I need to use several of them to judge if there are duplicates?
Can you kindly advise how can I achieve the same result? (add a comment to the source data saying if it is a duplicate), thank you in advance!
