Hello, I'm looking for example to use scripting.dictionary.
on topic user Smallman1
https://ccm.net/forum/affich-947210-any-faster-version-of-the-same-code-to-handle-5000-records

the example is compare only for 1 column?
Please let me explain how to compare if string in item join form 3 column (if item is a string from column B+C+E)

I was try like this but I'm lost
.Item(ar(i, 1) & ar (i,2) & ar(i,3) = Empty



Option Explicit

Sub DicSolve() 'Excel VBA find duplicates with the scripting dictionary.
Dim ar As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim n As Long

ar = Sheet2.Cells(1, 3).CurrentRegion.Value
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
.CompareMode = 1
For i = 2 To UBound(ar, 1)
.Item(ar(i, 1)) = Empty
Next
ar = Sheet1.Cells(1).CurrentRegion.Value
n = 1

For i = 2 To UBound(ar, 1)
If .exists(ar(i, 1)) Then
n = n + 1
For j = 1 To UBound(ar, 2)
ar(n, j) = ar(i, j)
Next
End If
Next
End With
Sheet3.Cells(10, 1).Resize(n, UBound(ar, 2)).Value = ar
End Sub

I don't know is that solution is perfect but it works:)

Option Explicit
Sub DicSolve() 'Excel VBA find duplicates with the scripting dictionary.
Dim ar As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim n As Long
'Dim dict As Object

ar = Sheet2.Cells(1, 3).CurrentRegion.Value
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
.CompareMode = 1
'.CompareMode = vbTextCompare
For i = 2 To UBound(ar, 1)
.Item(ar(i, 1) & "|" & ar(i, 2) & "|" & ar(i, 3)) = Empty
Next
ar = Sheet1.Cells(1).CurrentRegion.Value
n = 1

For i = 2 To UBound(ar, 1)
If .exists(ar(i, 1) & "|" & ar(i, 2) & "|" & ar(i, 3)) Then
'do nothing
Else

n = n + 1
For j = 1 To UBound(ar, 2)
ar(n, j) = ar(i, j)
Next
End If
Next
End With
Sheet3.Cells(10, 1).Resize(n, UBound(ar, 2)).Value = ar
End Sub
