Finding minimum output value for same inputs in a table

I am a new user of matlab and have a question about tables.
So I have a table called myTable with three different inputs (x,y,z) and one output (fct_total), for some of the inputs I sometimes have different outputs (see higlighted rows in screenshot)
I wonder if there is any way using for example logical indexing to select the smallest output (fct_total) in the cases where inputs are the same and then place the inputs and the minimum value of the output in a separate table?

Is your table consistently organized as in the image; i.e., 36 rows repeating with the same values execpt for the last column (fct_total)? If so, this code will create a column vector containing the miminum values in the fct_total column for each x-y-z combination:
d = reshape(myTable.fct_total, 36, []);
min_d = min(d, [], 2);
Then, create a new table using the min_d values and the x-y-z combinations.

Hi Scott,
Thank you for your reply and I realized that I should have been more specific, there are also other outputs, but these I want to keep exactly as they are (See screenshot 1).
So: I want to find the minimum value for fct_total at the points where x, y and z have the same values and at the same time keep the other outputs as they are at the point where fct_total is minimized.
And it's not always consistent as in the figure in my previous post. After one iteration, a table can look like screenshot 2 (6 rows in total), where I have highlighted the rows with the same x y z values.

% The following matrix has two rows which have same x-y-z but different
% output (namely, first and last rows)
A = rand(9,4);
A = [A;A(1,:)];
A(end,end) = A(1,end)*2
A = 10×4

% Extract the smallest of the two values
xyz = A(1,1:3); % This is the input that has two possible outputs
output = min(A(all(A(:,1:3)==xyz,2))) % Mimimum output
output = 0.9887
