Find Duplicate entries when 2 criteria met and mark them

Is there a way in VBA to find duplicate entries when criteria in 2 columns meet?

I have two columns of data. First column has got dates and the second one amounts. The problem is to find and highlight all amounts that has got a duplicate amount and the same date in corresponding column?

I have so far managed to find a code to highlight duplicates on 1 criteria.

Here is the code

Sub RemoveDuplicateAmounts()
      Dim cel As Variant
      Dim myrng As Range

      Set myrng = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D2:D" & Sheets("Sheet1").Range("D65536").End(xlUp).Row)
      myrng.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone

      For Each cel In myrng
      clr = 10
        If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(myrng, cel) > 1 Then
          cel.Interior.ColorIndex = 26
      clr = clr + 10

      End If
      Next

      MsgBox ("All duplicates found and coloured")

End Sub

This is a VBA attempt at the same thing I have given formula to. I don't think it was necessary but OP might learn from it anyways. Cheers!

Sub ertdfgcvb()
Dim LastRow As Long, DatesCol As Long, AmountsCol As Long, a As Double, b As Double
LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, Searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
DatesCol = 4 'D column with dates
AmountsCol = 5 'E column with amounts
Columns(DatesCol).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone 'dates lose color
For i = 1 To LastRow 'for each row
    If i <> 1 Then 'had some fun with row 0 error
        a = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIfs( _
                  Range(Cells(1, DatesCol), Cells(i - 1, DatesCol)), _
                  Range(Cells(1, DatesCol), Cells(i - 1, DatesCol)), _
                  Cells(i, DatesCol), _
                  Range(Cells(1, AmountsCol), Cells(i - 1, AmountsCol)), _
                  Cells(i, AmountsCol)) 'counts the date values associated with recurrences before
    Else
        a = 0 'if it's first row I declared a zero, I don't know why
    End If

    If i <> LastRow Then 'yeah, last row stuff
        b = Application.WorksheetFunction.SumIfs( _
                  Range(Cells(i + 1, DatesCol), Cells(LastRow, DatesCol)), _
                  Range(Cells(i + 1, DatesCol), Cells(LastRow, DatesCol)), _
                  Cells(i, DatesCol), _
                  Range(Cells(i + 1, AmountsCol), Cells(LastRow, AmountsCol)), _
                  Cells(i, AmountsCol)) 'counts the date values associated with recurrences after
    Else
        b = 0 'if it's the last row, there are definitely none after
    End If

    If a <> 0 Or b <> 0 Then Cells(i, 4).Interior.ColorIndex = 26 'if either one of them isn't 0 then the date value gets a nice background color
Next i
End Sub

With a Countifs and some optimisation it will look like this:

Sub ertdfgcvb()
Dim LastRow As Long, DatesCol As Long, AmountsCol As Long
LastRow = Cells.Find(What:="*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, Searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
DatesCol = 4 'D column with dates
AmountsCol = 5 'E column with amounts
Columns(DatesCol).Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone 'dates lose color
For i = 1 To LastRow 'for each row
If 1 < Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIfs(Range(Cells(1, DatesCol), Cells(LastRow, DatesCol)), _
                  Cells(i, DatesCol), _
                  Range(Cells(1, AmountsCol), Cells(LastRow, AmountsCol)), _
                  Cells(i, AmountsCol)) _
                  Then Cells(i, 4).Interior.ColorIndex = 26 ' 'counts the date values associated with occurrences if there's more than one then the date gets a nice background color
Next i
End Sub

=SUMIFS($D$1:$D1,$D$1:$D1,$D2,$E$1:$E1,$E2)+SUMIFS($D3:$D$1048576,$D3:$D$1048576,$D2,$E3:$E$1048576,$E2)

And for working with VBA:

=SUMIFS(R1C4:R[-1]C4,R1C4:R[-1]C4,RC4,R1C5:R[-1]C5,RC5)+SUMIFS(R[1]C4:R1048576C4,R[1]C4:R1048576C4,RC4,R[1]C5:R1048576C5,RC5)

These sum D (assumed to be dates) based on D (dates) and E (amounts) both before and after given row. Change the C5 and C4 where needed to fit your dataset.

To get to the true/false statements I'd say just put a 0<> before:

=0<>SUMIFS(R1C4:R[-1]C4,R1C4:R[-1]C4,RC4,R1C5:R[-1]C5,RC5)+SUMIFS(R[1]C4:R1048576C4,R[1]C4:R1048576C4,RC4,R[1]C5:R1048576C5,RC5)
