One interp on your intents ..
Presume your table as posted in cols A to C, data from row2 down
col A = Staff No.
col B = Action/Reason
col C = Deptcode

Put in D2:
=IF(COUNTA(A2:B2)<2,"",IF(SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A2=A2)*(B$2:B2=B2))>1,"dup",""))
Copy down as far as required to flag duplicates based on col A and col B.
Freeze col D with an "in-place" copy n paste special as values, then apply
autofilter on col D, choose: dup to filter out the duplicates
