Delete Duplicate Rows :: Including The Original
Jan 15, 2010
I have a large worksheet with over 8,000 rows and about 5 columns. In several instances, I have several rows that are all exactly the same. It could be 2, 3, 4 or even more rows that are duplicate to one another.
I would like a macro that deletes ALL rows that are duplicates, including the original.
For example, let's say, rows 3, 4 & 5 are all exactly the same, I don't want to just delete rows 4 & 5, I want to delete row 3 as well!

My worksheet that will have duplicate data inserted into it. Once inserted I need to delete the new duplicate row and the row it duplicated. The attachment is a copy of what the data looks like with the first tab showing what it will look like with inserted data and the second tab is what I want it to look like at the end. I will not need the deleted data again so it does not need to be on a new sheet, that is just for an example. The name of the tabs will also be different so I want to be able to run it on any worksheet. This is the code I am using to find and delete the duplicate but I can't get it to delete the original. I used "First, MI, Last, and DOB" because those are the ones that won't be duplicated where others will. This is a list of about 15,000 entries. There should never be an incident where there is triplicate data but I can't say for sure.

I have many rows that contain some common data but I need to be able to select the row with the most recent data and delete the others. For example, a car part is assigned a unique number which never changes, it may be ordered several times and in different quantities, for each car part I want to select the most recent order and delete any others. Is there a simple way of doing this?

I need to merge rows with duplicate values in column A (Patient Name being the most important one), with columns B, C, & D usually having different isolated values as well. Columns E, F, G, H, & I are date columns, but the data is always going to be the number 1, meaning a patient was seen once that day (if they were seen two times that day for different reasons, information would be in an unmerged second row [same patient name listed in two separate rows], where columns B & C would be different). Column J is an autosum of columns E through I if that makes a difference. Column K is a notes column. The data that needs to be merged is always added to the bottom of the spreadsheet in order to show that a patient was seen on any given day, with columns B through K almost always being blank. Example:
Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes
Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------------------------------------0-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3----------------------------------------------0
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2---------------------------------------------0
Alice Alpha-----------------------------------------------1
Carl Carlisle--------------------------------------1--------------1---------------1
Ernie Elephant-------------------------------------------1---------------1
This is what I'm hoping it can look like:
Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes
Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------1-----------------------------1-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3-------1--------------1---------------1------3
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2--------------1---------------1-------------2
In this example Carl Carlisle is being seen for two different things, however how would it be written so the macro would know which Carl Carlisle row to merge with? I'm thinking that before running the macro I could manually enter the information into column B so it knows which Carl Carlisle row above to merge with.
Data always starts at row 14 (row 13 is frozen pane header column), and extends to a row that is different every week depending on how many people happen to be in the list.
I found something from this link that looks very similar to what I need, but with no knowledge of coding, I have no idea how it should be tweaked: Merge Duplicate Rows Keeping Data In Same Columns
I know I'm asking a lot, but the amount of time this takes to manually go through hundreds of rows of patient names every week is incredibly time consuming, and I have too many other things to stay on top of at work for this to drag me down day in and day out.

I found this great macro to use in a spreadsheet I'm trying to transpose from rows to columns, however, I need a place holder for blank cells: [URL] .....
I was able to use the macro in the last post by Ochenden but the blank cells need to have a placeholder.
How to change the macro or come up with a different script for me to use?
Attached is how I need the spreadsheet to look.
Script I used:
Sub aaa()
Dim OutSH As Worksheet
Set OutSH = Sheets("Sheet2")
Range("A:A").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, copytorange:=OutSH.Range("A1"), Unique:=xlYes
[Code] ..........

I am currently working on a project that adds shoes to a re-order list, and a receipt automatically when they are 'purchased'.
The re-order list is great as the shoes 'purchased' are supposed to be added one after another, my problem being that the receipt is for a customer.
Once the shoes 'purchased' are added to the receipt it can be printed. I then need to be able to clear the rows with values greater than 0 so that I can start with a new customer, on a clean receipt. I need it to check starting from row "A3" so that my receipt format is not messed up, and for it to finish leaving 2 blank rows so that my other macros still work.
I would like to use a macro to clear the rows to make it easier for the user.
If anyone has any suggestions I would be very greatfull and if you require the document I can arrange for it to be sent via e-mail.

I have a spreadsheet with 3300 rows. In column A there is a list of company names and in column H there is a corresponding Sales Rep name.Column A has many duplicate company names. I would like to run a macro that will find the a company name and then delete all the rest of the rows that contain that same company name.
Attached is a sample of that spreadsheet.

I feel as though I have spent enough time searching the previous posts to ask this question.
I have a 4 column sheet, column B has many cells with identical data. I want to delete all the rows that that have duplicate data in column B.
COLUMN A= Car Makers
COLUMN B= Models of cars
COLUMN C= color
COLUMN D= owner
I want to end up with rows that each contain unique info in COLUMN B.

I have some code but I still need to do a considerable amount of tweaking to it. Currently my code is only deleting the duplicate values in Col A. I am having difficulty summing the values in Col D as well as deleting the entire row.
Here is my code thus far....
-------
Public Sub FindDuplicates()
For RwCnt = 1 To (Worksheets(1).Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row)
SrchValue = Worksheets(1).Cells(RwCnt, 1).Value
If Len(Trim(SrchValue)) > 0 Then
With Worksheets(1).Range("a1:a" & Cells(65536, 1).End(xlUp).Row)

I am working with timesheet data (name, project code, task code, date, hours etc...) in one spreadsheet and rate card data (name, role, day rate etc...) in another.
My task is to pull together some of the information in each of these two source spreadsheets and compile a report. This I have done no problem. However, where a person works on a particular project and task on the same day and records multiple entries (which could be negative) I need to consolidate the hours in all these matching rows and have just one row reflect the total hours worked and delete the other duplicate rows.
So an example would be:
Project | Task | Name | Role | Date | Hours
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | 2.5
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | -2.5
123456 | 1.001 | Paul Jones | Project Manager | 20/02/2008 | 3.5
[Code]....
My problem is I don't think I have approached this the right way but am unsure of where to go with it. The code as is does sort of work but I still get some duplicate and zero lines in my results.

I am trying to delete duplicate rows and have had some success using a VBA from MR Excel threads. However, i would like to add multiple sheets to be compared. When i change the vba to use array, the next line fails with error 438, not a supported objectproperty method.....
Here is the code:
Sub CheckWest()
Dim LR As Long, i As Long
With Sheets("west")
LR = .Range("C" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row
For i = LR To 1 Step -1
If IsNumeric(Application.Match(.Range("C" & i).Value, Sheets("Removals").Columns("C"), 0)) Then .Rows(i).Delete
Next i
End With
End Sub
This checks the sheet "removals" column "c", any duplicates found in sheet "west" column "c", row is deleted. I would like to add additional sheets, how to correctly change this line of the VBA?
With Sheets(array("west", "east", "north"))?? I beileive this is what i tried and the next line errored.

How would I go about deleting duplicate rows?
I've searched the board already and I couldn't find this.
I have a sheet with different data in each column, song titles, writers, owners and so on.
say this information runs from column A to H down 10,000 rows, occasionally information is duplicated in certain rows, except for column A.
I need to be able to search the sheet and delete any extra rows that are duplicated.
So I'll end up with the exact data in each row only appearing once.

I can delete duplicate rows easily enough, but I can't seem to capture a couple variables where I would not want to delete the selected row. There are no headings, all data starts in Row 1.
I start in Row 1 Columns C and D, compare that to Row 3 Columns C and D (Every other row). If it is a duplicate entry in both columns, delete that row and the row below it. Pick up at next row and continue. See attached Excel file (Excel 2003). The rows with fonts colored RED are the only rows from this data that should get deleted.

Hi i have the below code which runs on deleting duplicate code which i found in an excel manual. I am having some trouble as i want to convert the code so that it will run on all worksheets i have which are numbered such as 1,2,3,4 etc.
This is so it makes the workbook easy maintenance for when deleting or adding worksheets which happens quite regularly.

I have a spreadsheet with three colums of data. The first column contains
records which have occasional phone number duplication- see blelow:
(555) 000-0000DataA1ValueA1
(555) 000-0000DataA2ValueA2
(555) 555-9770DataA3ValueA3
(555) 555-4464DataA4ValueA4
(555) 555-4464DataA5ValueA5
(555) 555-4720DataA6ValueA6
(555) 555-8823DataA7ValueA7
(555) 555-3834DataA8ValueA8
(555) 555-4125DataA9ValueA9
What I need to do is (somehwhat) automate the process of filtering or
deleting out all rows which have duplicate data in the first column, but not
second or third columns. I'm sure it's been done...I tried the Excel
out-of-the-box.

I need to delete duplicate rows in the "Description" column but keep the highest number in the "Order" column. In addition, I need to combine the duplicate amounts for (Budget, Commit, PTD, Avail) into the one line item that is left after removing the duplicates. This is what the spreadsheet would look like initially:
Order
Description
Budget

I have 6 columns on my data sheet. F column is Amount column.
If there are rows where all the columns A,B,C,D and E duplicate then I need that row to be deleted, BUT before that the value from the column F should be summed to the duplicating row's F column.
I attached a simple example file, where you can see my point better. (I need the code to work with thousands of rows, and not only with 5 rows which i put on the axample)

The problem is a little complex, I have a large spreadsheet (10,000+ entries) and a smaller spreadsheet (100 or so entries). I merged them together, and now I need to find a way to delete all rows that are unique.
Reasoning: I accidentally deleted a few hundred product orders from our system, and need to find a way to re- import them from a backup SQL dump we have, but not the whole table

I have trouble in deleting the duplicate rows. I have a code to find the duplicate values
Public Sub Unique_Proj() 'This is the first step which takes out the unique projects from the base data
'Call Work_Assignment
'this selects the unique projects in the sheet
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Dim A, E, B(), n As Long
Sheets("Projects").Select
With ActiveSheet
A = . Range("g2", .Range("g" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp)).Value
Redim B(1 To UBound(A, 1), 1 To 1)
With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
.CompareMode = vbTextCompare
For Each E In A
If Not IsEmpty(E) And Not .exists(E) Then
n = n + 1: B(n, 1) = E: .Add E, Nothing
End If
Next
End With
Sheets("Unique Projects").Select
Range("G3:G" & Rows.Count).ClearContents
Range("G3").Resize(n).Value = B
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
However, this gives me a list of values in that perticular column only.
What I want is either delete the complete row which is duplicate OR select the entire range of values which are unique (based on the column searched) and paste it in a new sheet. The second option is more better for me.
