Delete Rows Based On Duplicates In X Columns
May 14, 2006
I've been looking through various forums looking for a macro for a particular task, but I have not found something that works yet. Maybe someone could help me out? It's pretty straightforward situation.
I need a macro that removes an entire row when: information in column B and column C are both found in other rows ( duplicates).
I'm dealing with a worksheet with store record information ... Store Name (column B), Street Name (column C), State/Province, etc. I import new store records all the time and many are invalid because they share the same name and street address and therefore need to be removed. The ones that I’ve played with unfortunately end up deleting the cells only and not the entire row.
It's a tedious process to do manually remove entire rows (for duplicate column B&C) when dealing with thousands of rows and I would very much appreciate any assistance or insight into how simplify the process with a macro. I've attached a sample of what I'm working with.

I need excel to delete entire rows if there are duplicates in two columns combined.
So, if I have this sample data (in reality I have a lot more columns)
1 Tr. ID Last Name First Name Sex
2 RBM_A Miller Johnny M
3 RBM_A Bayron Josephine F
4 RBM_A Jackson Reynaldo M
[Code] ........
I want excel to delete only row 9, not 11, 13 or 14.
So far, if I look for duplicates in both columns it marks duplicates in either one. Also if I delete the duplicates, it deletes them only in those two columns, leaving me with distorted data (in this example, row 14 would have no last or first name, but only the values "RBM_C" in column B and "F" in column E.

I have a spreadsheet that in column A has either the letters "C", "LP", or is blank.
In Column L it has either numbers 1 through 100, or the letter "D".
What I need it to do is to check and see if the data in column L is "D" and in the same row column A is blank, then delete that row.
Also, if the data in Column L is "D" and the Data in column A is either "C", or "LP", then I need it to change the "D" to "1".
It might be easier to do it separately because once you run the part that deletes the rows that don’t have a “C” or “LP” then I could probably just do one that says if column L = “D” then change to “1”.
Lets see if I can simplify this for you.
If Column L = “D” and Column A = BLANK then Delete Row
(this would delete all “D’s” that don’t have the “C” or “LP”)
THEN
If Column L = “D” then change to “1”

two things on the attached sheet.
First problem: in column B, I have a formula based on contents of column A. However, the limitations of 7 nested IFs leaves me with errors - I need 3 more IFs. Is there a way around that?
Second problem: I need to show the row of the first (earliest time in column A) and the last (latest hour in column A) record for each name. I've been sorting by name and time, then manually deleteing the rows I don't need. I know there's a better way, but I can't find it!

I need to filter the following file.
I need to remove all rows where COL A value and COL B value are the same. COL C does not need to be considered. However I need to retain one of the Col C values for purposes of formatting.
The end result should look similar to columns F,G and H!

How do I delete duplicate rows in a sheet using a macro. When I say duplicate row, it is not based on a particular column but all the columns, so it is a true duplicate record.

I am a locksmith and attempting to write a spreadsheet app. for my line of work. The output page will use columns A-G and rows 1-?10000? depending on the size of the system. If a 5 pin system is requested then columns A+B will be blacked out. 6 pin system A is blacked out. 7 pin system nothing blacked out. Also, if any cell matches the master key that was input, that cell is filled with red. I know, confusing.
Basically, I am trying to remove the blacked out columns automatically, and to remove the enitire row is any cell in that row is filled with red. Then to remove blank lines.

Using the following code to remove empty rows based on whether a specific range of columns is empty. The code works if the cell has a zero, but not when the cell is blank. An example of the data is attached.
VB:
Public Sub DelRows2()
Dim Cel As Range, searchStr, FirstCell As String
Dim searchRange As Range, DeleteRange As Range
[Code].....

I have two columns of data, one with an ID # and the other one with a date. Some ID# + date combinations are repeated and I need to delete the duplicates. Here is a visual:
ID# date
54 19720211
54 19720211
54 19810512
67 19590312
89 19931104
89 19931104
I need to keep only unique ID/date combinations. I would need the final list to look like this:
ID# Date
54 19720211
54 19810512
67 19590312
89 19931104

I have a list of 18k rows, and about 7.5k are known duplicates. The delete duplicates button will not delete the duplicates (except it keeps returning 41 duplicates for an unknown reason, but there definitely thousands more it is missing). I tried the remove duplicates button, advance sort, coloring cells, and some macros. The list is the combination of two lists, one older one just compiled, I was able to seamlessly delete dups in another list.

I have column A that is 1,500 records.
I have column B with 40,000 records.
Among the 40,000 records in column B, duplicates of ALL 1,500 records from column A exist.
My question is: How do I find WHERE the 1,500 dupes are and how can I delete JUST those records?

I have a sheet of Data containing 3705 rows. It has plenty of duplicates. Column A is where is located the identification. I need to delete the rows that are duplicated, in order to have only one row for each identification number. I tried to create my own VBA macro to do so, but it seems it doesn't delete all the duplicated rows and it seems to even delete unique rows.
Sub Duplicates()
Dim lstRw As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim m As Long
m = 1
Dim Compteur As Long
Compteur = 0
Application. ScreenUpdating = False
Let lstRw = Sheets("UE"). Range("A65536").End(xlUp).Row
For i = 2 To lstRw
'With Worksheets("UE")
SumNumber = Range("A" & i).Value.....................

I have two columns of data, and I need to create a third column to count the number of times that same line appears in the document (and then remove all but the first copy of that line). my data looks as follows (and it is sorted so all duplicate rows appear directly next to each other):
Adam1998 | Jan
Adam1998 | John
Adam1998 | John
Adam1998 | Paul
Adam1998 | Peter
Adam1998 | Peter
Adam1998 | Peter
Adam1999 |John
Adam1999 | Paul
I need this to look as follows:
Adam1998 | Jan | 1
Adam1998 | John | 2
Adam1998 | Paul | 1
Adam1998 | Peter | 3
Adam1999 |John | 1
Adam1999 | Paul | 1

I have a single spreadsheet with a few columns but hundreds of rows. Each row is a property reference (with other data such as address in the columns) with a type of charge in column J and the amount in column K. I'll try to replicate below ...
A B ....... J K
Prop1 Prop1Address Rent 100
Prop2 Prop2Address Rent 150
Prop3 Prop3Address Gas 70
Prop4 Prop4Address Water 60
Prop4 Prop4Address Rent 200
Prop4 Prop4Address Elec 80
Prop5 Prop5Address Service 90
I want the sheet to display a property on a single row so would look like as follows ...
A B ....... Rent Gas Water Elec Service Total
Prop1 Prop1Address 100 100
Prop2 Prop2Address 150 150
Prop3 Prop3Address 70 70
Prop4 Prop4Address 200 60 80 340

I have a list of about 85,000 addresses and I know that there are about 35,000 duplicates in it.
If I do 'Remove duplicates' it deletes them but takes the first one of each it finds and what I want to do is remove the duplicate with no UPRN in it (Column B)

I have a column of information, and I want to find out of there are duplicates in it without alphabetizing it. Where there is a duplicate (say E2=E5), I want to check the adjoining column to see if the value of those fields are duplicates as well (does F2=F5). So, what formula would I put in D2 to see if the value of E2 has an equal anywhere in column E, and if any duplicates are found (say E10,E33, and E43), to check if F10,F33 and F43 equal F2 (the value adjoining the cell that was searched for).
to find duplicate entries in a database by using people's last names (in column E) and birthdays (in column F). Odds are if they have the same DOB and the same last name, we've found a duplicate.

I need to find a way to highlight duplicate records within a list. The records would first need to be compared by (1) the month (found in column A), (2) the account number (found in column B) and then (3) the commission type (found in column D).
I do not need the duplicates deleted just highlighted or better yet maybe have them identified as "Duplicates" in an empty column (such as column H).

I have 7 columns x 3 rows with unique numbers. I wish to determine every combination of the above numbers without repeats.
5
11
17
24
29
35
40
[Code] ........
Column 1 would only use column 1 numbers.
Column 2 would only use column 2 numbers...etc.
Also have the same for 5 rows of unique numbers.
I've been working on this for 10 years and this is the last step to finalizing the WINNING numbers.
Back checking using the 5 row technique I would have spent 10,000,000.00 playing over 8 years with a winners purse of 33,000,000.00
With the 3 row I would have spent close to 200k and won 2.5 mil.
Only problem is that I don't have the 10 to start with, the 200k is a maybe .
I need to be able to generate the combinations to play the numbers.

I have a worksheet that contains thousands of patient appointment entries, there are more than one entry with the same patient details contained in the worksheet. For example; sometimes a patient will reschedule a appointment, this causes another entry to added for the new appointment. When the patient attends this appointment, the appointment status changes to Seen. But the original entry still stays Rescheduled. This there a way that we can look for identical infomation in some selected columns that match the original entry but have different infomation in some other columns:
E.G. The cells in columns A,B,C,H have identical infomation than the original entry but the cell text in column D equals to "Checked" or "Cancelled" and the cell date in column G is higher than the original entry date. If the result is true then tag the original entry as Invalid

I am working on a list of agents and I want to get rid of the duplicates. I know I could use conditional formating to highlight the duplicate names but it conditional formating won't allow me to find duplicates based on three cells in a row. My code below works to an extent but it misses some of the duplicates in the list and I don't know why. I have check the cells of the duplicates and they are an exact match.
Sub SearchDups1()
Dim rFnd1 As Excel.Range
Dim rFnd2 As Excel.Range
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim iEnd As Integer
Dim sAdr1 As String
iCount = 2
iEnd = WorksheetFunction.Match("zzzzzzzzzz", Sheet2.Range("D:D")) + 1
Do
Set rFnd1 = Sheet2.Cells(iCount, "D")
Set rFnd2 = Sheet2.Columns("D:D").Find( _
What:=rFnd1, LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, MatchCase:=True)..............

I am trying to tell the spreadsheet that if column G *and* column V are both identical to another row's column G and V, then the entire row is a duplicate and to highlight and delete it. I also want to record a macro of this process to apply to all spreadsheets.
Here are the tutorials I am looking at, but whatever I am doing is not working the way it is working for them.
Conditional Formatting, find duplicates with multiple columns [URL]...
I am highlighting cell A2, and under Conditional Formatting, I select "Formula Is" =SUM(COUNTIF($G:$G,G2),COUNTIF($V:$V,G2))>1
Then I select the format as light orange text, but it is only highlighting A2....
That is as far as I have gotten, and I still do not know how to go about deleting the duplicate entries. I have also read there are issues with recording a macro when trying to find duplicates using more than one column in the formula, but I have not gotten that far so I can't test it.
As is likely evident in my formula and process, I am not very experienced with Excel.

removing duplicate rows and move other data frm rows to columns.xlsx.
I am attaching a sample excel sheet showing what I need to do.In the first tab, I have a list that includes duplicate rows (first column only). I want to remove those duplicate rows but I don't want to lose the data in the following columns which can be unique or duplicates as well.
see the desired result tab in the sheet to get an idea of what I am looking for as the end result.
Keep in mind that the actual source file I am working with could have up to 50000 row, and the expected results could be around 2000 rows. So nothing can be done manually.

I'm trying to conditionally format rows of data based on duplicates in the first column, then filter the results. I have a table of data with mutiple variables assigned to different "headings" that looks a little something like this:
A
B
C
D
[Code]....
[selects the table, then GoTo Special selects the blanks, fills in the blanks with the cell above, then Copy and Pastes As Values the entire table again to fill everything in]
I’m stuck on how to input a formula into the conditional formatting window that will:
Format the text to white in columns A, B, and E based on there being a duplicate above that row in Column A only. i.e. conditionally format the values with a * below:
A
B
C
D
E
[Code]....
If I use the conditional formula I found: =A1=A2, then cell E3 gets made white text when I don’t want it to, hence the “referencing column A” part of the question (Column A is always a unique ID number whereas Column E can have a duplicate in the row above). [Edit: Why can't I type Enter or put a line break here... I'll try re-edit at home...] When I go to filter on Column C for YYY again, the conditional formatting needs to realise to un-white the text, which is my next headache because it means conditional formatting that acts relative to hidden rows as a result of a filter... Oh and did I mention the client wants this done in 2003? This is an afterthought though – as I can force them to use 2010 if need be

Is there a limit on the number of rows and columns that can be deleted in a macro on Excel 2003? I am trying to create a macro that, amoung other things, delets 1119 rows and 54 columns. If I delete the columns first, the rows will not delete. If I delete the columns first, the rows will not delete.

I am attempting to delete rows with columns not containing "MC". In the example below, the result should be 3 rows remaining (1,2 and 5):
Y
Z
AA
IP/DA/SV
MC/SWL/SA
MC/SH/SA
[code]...
Instead, all I get are results with Y starting in MC, in this case the last row, all the other rows are deleted. I need to get all rows that have MC in three columns (Y, Z or AA) and delete the ones that do not. In this case, rows 3 & 4.
Below is the code I have been using:
Sub Del_Rows()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With Range("Y1:AA1", Range("Y" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="*MC*"
.Offset(1).EntireRow.Delete
.AutoFilter
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
Seems simple enough but this newbie chump is stumped why it is not reading the other columns
