Hi Lillian
Thank you for using our forum
Have you tried using conditional formatting? It won't mark it with the word match but it will mark all duplicate entries a certain colour making it easier to identify.
Another method you could use is sorting the data by Column D and in Column E use an IF statement to check if it's a duplicate and if it is to add the word match
=IF(A8=A9,"Match","")
Though this option would only work if you kept the data sorted
Hope this helps
Kind regards
