"by" command is not allowed to use with "duplicates" but use both "ID"
and "another variable" (or other variables) to look for duplicates.
That means you are looking for any duplicates of X1 (e.g. height)
within X2 (e.g. class). It is like a conditional criteria by
searching ID first, then another variable.
