Remove duplicates in excel 2016 based on data in multiple columns
I want to remove duplicate rows in excel 2016 based on data from multiple columns.
For example I have a row with columns. I have another row where all the values in the exact same columns match the first one, I want to get rid of it. But I want this to be an if and oly if and if for example there 5 columns in the first row, the duplicates must have 5 same columns as well.

You will have to create a helper column and insert a formula to concatenate the contents of all columns
After that apply conditional formatting on that new column to highlight the duplicate values, these duplicate values would the ones you require.
Formula in Cell G3 is
=B3 & C3 & D3 & E3 & F3
