The above code is just for the ID, but even on that task it doesn't seem to
do the same thing I did. The above will not flag this as a problem, but my
code would:

ID      SECTION SUBSECTION      TYPE|OP1|OP2
AB      MediumOrchid
AB      MediumOrchid    OrangeRed2
AB      MediumOrchid    Khaki2  DeepPink1|DIV|MULT
AB      MediumOrchid    Gray100 Gray100|MULT|DIV
CD      OliveDrab1
CD      OliveDrab1      Gray47
CD      OliveDrab1      Gray47  Ivory2|PLUS|DIV
CD      OliveDrab1      Azure2  Gray23|MULT|PLUS
AB      MediumOrchid
AB      MediumOrchid    Gray100
AB      Gray40  Gray39  AntiqueWhite4|MULT|MINUS
AB      Gray40  Gray39  Ivory3|MULT|MINUS
AB      Gray40  Gray39  PowderBlue|MINUS|DIV
