Which fields have to be the same for something to be considered a duplicate?
How much leeway should there be in testing? For example if the delay for one is 1 millisecond and the delay for another is (1 millisecond plus 1 nanosecond) then should those be considered duplicates?

[groupnum, group_content] = findgroups(app.YourGUITable.Data.Period);
if numel(groupnum) == height(app.YourGUITTable.Data)
%there were no duplicates
else
for G = 1 : max(groupnum)
mask = groupnum == G;
if nnz(mask) > 1
rows_that_are_duplicates = find(mask);
content_that_is_duplicated = group_content{G};
%at this point produce your popup saying that the rows in
%rows_that_are_duplicates are duplicates of each other, with
%each one containing the same content_that_is_duplicated
end
end
end
%several popups might have been generated by this point -- one for each
%distinct Period that is duplicated
