Delete Duplicate Rows Using Data In Column A As Criteria

Jan 13, 2009

I have a spreadsheet that has thousands of rows of data with maybe 6 columns.

I would like to remove the duplicate rows but the problem I am facing is that I would like to use column A as the criteria.

There are some duplicates in column A but the issue is that the data in column B, C, D, etc may not be the same for each duplicate.

Easier to see in this image:
http://img127.imageshack.us/img127/6364/datajv6.jpg

So A1 is the same as A6
A1 has data in B1 and C1, no data in D1
A6 has data in B1, C1 and D1

I need to delete either row A1 or row A6, it is irrelevant which row it is but one of them has to go.

Delete Duplicate Rows Based On 1 Column

Jun 12, 2008

creating a macro for an excel spreadsheet? The problem I am faced with is I need to reduce a xls file from a ticketing system at work that contains roughly 50,000 rows.

What I need to have done is reduce a Site Code column (column B) so that for each ticket entry there is only one occurrence of each user that worked on that ticket.What the macro should do is to look through column B and remove any duplicate rows for the same ticket number located in column A. once the macro gets to the next ticket number in column A I need it to start over on the duplicate check for column B.

I have a attached a xls file to this post to try and show what it is i am working on.

Select Column And Delete Row Where Data Is Duplicate

Nov 17, 2006

I've got this macro which works well, but I have to edit it to change the column I want to check for dupes. I don't mind doing that, but now I have to share the macro with someone who is not comfortable changing the references in the code every time they run it.

As it is it checks column G:G (7) for dupes and deletes the row. Good.
I'd like for it to do the same thing, but for whatever column the active cell is in.

I can use this:
Col = ActiveCell.Column
in place of the "7" in the With Range part
but I don't know how to replace the "G1:G".

Sub DeleteDuplicatesColumnG()
With Application
.ScreenUpdating = False
.EnableEvents = False

Delete Rows Meeting Criteria In One Column

Jun 4, 2009

I have a large number of user inputs which is linked to a data sheet. In this sheet are rows to be kept and rows to be deleted. See attached example...

I need code to delete all other similar rows than the one with a number (1) in the field Complete. There can only be a number (1) in the field Complete in one of the rows.

But if there is no number (1) in the field Complete in any of the rows, no rows should be deleted.

The data sheet is to be transferred to Access afterwards.

Delete Rows Based On Criteria While Referencing Column Header

Jun 6, 2007

I'm trying to use VBA code to delete certain rows based on a couple of criteria as follows:

1) If column header is "TERMINAL NAME" and the cell value in that column is "BONDDESK", I need the entire row deleted.

2) Similiarly, if the column header is "PRODUCT TYPE" and the cell value in that column is "CORP", that entire row needs deleted as well.

The information is coming from another source, so the columns may change from day to day, i.e, "TERMINAL NAME" may be in Column L one day but in Column O another day.....

Delete Entire Rows Where 1 Column Meets Multiple Criteria

Sep 17, 2007

I need create a macro to perform the following - I don't know if it needs to be an Excel macro or via VB. This is to speed a process up and eliminate any spreadsheet messing around for our "admin" staff - they are not good with excel at all!

So, I have a daily/weekly down load of a spreadsheet (exported from access).

* I want to copy the values of column AK to A
* Then delete all entries in column D that equal 19, 20 and 6
* Then delete all entries in column AL that equal "A","B","C" or "D" but not "E","F" or "G"
* Then delete entire rows where the value in column A is a duplicate within the list

I will call this spreadsheet, for the purpose of this exercise, the "Master". I now have another spreadsheet with values in that should relate to values in either (or both) columns A and B in the "Master". I need Spreadsheet 2 values to be highlighted as cross checked in the "Master" and then all those in the "Master" that do not appear in the 2nd S/S will be normal white cells thus showing that they need to be chased by our Admin staff.

Sum Duplicate Values Then Delete Duplicate Rows

Jan 5, 2004

I have 4 columns in my spreadsheet. I am trying to find any duplicates that may exist in Col A, sum values in Col D, then delete the entire row. So far my sheet before I run my vba code is this.

Col A
100
101
102
105
100
101
102
105

Col D
5
4
2
4
1

3

After my code is run, I need for my spreadsheet to look like this

Col A
100
101
102
105

Col D
6
6
5
5

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 want to delete rows that do not meet a specific criteria, for example a location, Leeds, which is in column "i" of the table. I have written the below but it seems to delete data from row 1 rather than row 4 and repeat down each row

Code below

Dim i As Integer
Dim intCounter As Integer
Dim strLocation() As String

Merge Duplicate Cells Or Keep Duplicates In One Column If One Of Rows Has Data

Apr 7, 2014

I have a huge document that looks like this

Column A______Column B_____Column C
100/12__________B___________$
100/12______________________@
100/12______________________€
250/13______________________€
250/13______________________$

I want to keep in ColumnA all three rows of 100/12, because it has a value in Column B in one cell-which is the criteria, and remove the 250/13 because it has no value in cell B.

I was assuming that merging duplicates in column A, and than remove empty from ColumnB.

Formula To Link A Column Of Data Between 2 Worksheets And Duplicate Rows

Jan 27, 2010

I'm in need of a formula, or another automated technique, to link a column of data from one worksheet to another. I have an input worksheet that I copy the raw data into that is formatted as follows:

COLUMN A
Row 1 12001
Row 2 12004
Row 3 12011
Row 4 12020
Row 5 13050
etc...

I need this import sheet to link to an output worksheet that would be updated automatically as new data is entered into the input sheet. However, I need the output sheet to copy the input values a specified # of the times and list them. For example, if the specified # was 3, it would be formatted as follows:

COLUMN A
Row 1 12001
Row 2 12001
Row 3 12001
Row 4 12004
Row 5 12004
Row 6 12004
Row 7 12011
etc...

I need the formula, or method, to be one that I don't have to continually re-enter as the data changes, as I have thousands of records to do this with. I've tried filling down, but autofill doesn't recognize an accurate trend. Is this something that I can accomplish by combining several fomulas, creating macros, or a combination of the both?

Consolidate Matching Rows And Delete Duplicate Rows?

Feb 20, 2008

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.

How To Delete Duplicate Rows

Jan 23, 2014

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 To :: Delete Duplicate Rows?

Mar 21, 2007

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.

Delete Both Original And Duplicate Rows?

May 25, 2014

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.

Delete Duplicate Rows, With A Twist

Dec 4, 2008

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.

Delete Rows With Duplicate Values

May 1, 2006

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.
