how can i remove duplictes from a colum. For example:
Column C:
A;B;C;A;D;E;A;G;B *(A is three times here and B two times!)
F;G;H;I;F*(F is here two times)
I would like to have the duplicates removed from each cell in column C so that each member is unique in the cell. The example would then look like:
Column C: (after removing the dupplicates A and B in first cell and F in second cell)
A;B;C;D;E;G
F;G;H;I
I would like to remove duplicates in column D, but keep the first instant.
It was to look at column A for duplicates then look at column D and remove all but the first one.

I need to remove the duplicates under column B for each item under column A and I can't seem to figure out how to do it.
I'm using Excel 2007; I would prefer a VBA solution, as I have to do this on a monthly basis. However, if a formula is the best way to go, then that's just fine. Either way, I'm preparing the data for a pivot table. I am unable to post the actual document in the interest of data protection.
Essentially, I'd like to turn this-
_ A B
1 Paris Bill
2 Paris Bill
3 Paris Mike
4 Paris Derek
5 Paris Derek
6 London Mike
7 London Bill
8 London Mike
9 London Bill
10 London Derek
11 Tokyo Derek
12 Tokyo Derek
13 Tokyo Derek
into this-
_ A B
1 Paris Bill
2 Paris Mike
3 Paris Derek
4 London Mike
5 London Bill
6 London Derek
7 Tokyo Derek
In other words, each city should have only one instance of any name that accompanies it; not all names will accompany each city.
My issue is that I have 1200+ addresses to make more readable - the first column is the street name, the second is the post code(s) relative to the street - what Ideally I'd like to achieve is one row per street, the street name followed by the post codes... i.e. take this...

removing duplicates from a the first column of a two column table while maintaining the data in the second column. Unfortunately my skills fall short and I have been unable to alter the code to work for a 5 column table.
For example, if I might have data that might look something similar to this: ....
I have to take a range of phone numbers that I have to port from another carrier and manually type them out or copy into another speadsheet, removing duplicate numbers. For example, I have the following numbers:
55532821055553282108
78132821235553282123
55532821625553282163
The results on the next spreadsheet need to be:
5553282105
5553282106
5553282107
5553282108
7813282123
5553282162
5553282163
I am looking for a way to automate this process.
I have a list of parts in a table. I am manually copy/pasting this list to another sheet in my workbook and then using DATA→Remove Duplicates to get a shortened list. Is there a way to automate this process?
In the attached workbook I want the yellow cells to auto-fill for me.
I get a lot of lists in the format on the left hand side so I want excel to automatically format them for me so that I can use the output on the right.

Is it possible to scan through column A for duplicates if found delete the row that has not got any data in either column D E or F? If Duplicates are found and neither have any data in D E or F Delete all but one of the duplicates.

The name is in Column F the employee Number is the 020820 and we want to only have the latest date in the last column.
So out of this data above. The bottom one with the 2/11/2008 is the one we want to keep.
And delete those other 2.
The next group has duplicate names 10 of them. But only want to keep the most recent.
I have a spresdsheet with a few tousand rows that is updated daily. My objective is to remove duplicates from colum C keeping always the most recent (date on colum B). Sometimes collum C will have blank cells and the rows of said blank cells can't be deleted.

I have the following formula
=IFERROR(INDEX('Data - CURRENT'!$B$2:$B$2500,MATCH(LARGE('Data - CURRENT'!$BA$2:$BA$2500,ROW(A1)),
'Data - CURRENT'!$BA$2:$BA$2500,0)),"")
This worked wonderfully until a duplicate crept in to Column B. Now there is the potential for many more duplicates. Column B holds an 8 digit numerical number. I am just struggling to add in a parameter that ignores any duplicates that have been added
I have a list of that has similar but not exact duplicated entries, such as:

What kind of formula could I use to detect and remove all entries that are partially duplicate like this?
Below is a typical example of the contents of one of my cells (of which I have around 500 cells):

We can distinguish between each entry by the comma - but how can I get Excel to look inside one specific cell at text and remove these?
I have an excel table with several columns two of which I am interested in. What I am trying to do is filter the first column with a specific criterion and then copy the visible values from the other column into a range object. After that I need to remove duplicates. The problem is I get an error. Here's the code. There are a lot of duplicates.

I receive a customer list with over 1.000 customers. Each customer have it's own customer ID and some customers have more then one dept / case.
I now wonder how I can find duplicates if the customer ID is the same in the customer ID field and remove any duplicates?
i have a wordlist containing about 0.5 Million words in col.A and Millions of meanings in Col.B. Now in Col. A there are many duplicates. I would like to make one cell of all duplicates in col.A and put their meanings together in B with seperator ";". Its very important that there are no duplicates in Col. B.
For example:
Col. A Col.B
w1 m1;m2;m3
w1 m1;m2;m5
w2 m23;m24
w2 m50
Now after running the macro the list should look like:
Col.A Col.B
w1 m1;m2;m3;m5
w2 m23;m24;m50
The words in col. A are alphabetically ordered and all the duplicates are followed by each other.

I have been trying for a day now to figure out how to remove the unique cells and keep the duplicates only. I have tried a macro but it does not seem to work. Has any one run into this before. I have attached a sample what I would like to do is remove all non-duplicates from column A. The only macro I could find was this:

Visually, I can see that there are duplicates when I sort the list into order. However, when I use 'remove duplicates', it says that there are none. I have tried formatting all as text, numbers and general, but no better. I have also tried the formula =or(a1=A2, A2=A3) and they all come out as false.

We are having a problem merging our databases. We are using excel to streamline databases to be included in our GiftWorks database of donors. However we are having the problem of many duplicates with multiple addresses, contact info etc. I have come to find that there is no way other than the "bitch work" method of going thru by hand in the GiftWorks database to find duplicates. However we can make a smartlist and export to excel and then perhaps merge the new info with this one. I was just wondering if there is anyway to sort duplicates and merge their information by first name/last name.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm having a "challenge" in Excel.
I've got two columns in Excel with data in it.
Column A is unique data and consists out of date and time and Column B is data which indicates the state of an application.
So every task the application is performing gets logged every minute so Column B is showing duplicates.
Now what I want to do is to remove the duplicate actions but only if they are subsequent. So an action can happen several times a day but only once in an hour. But if I use the AdvancedFilter with the Unique Records only, it removes all the duplicates also from later on the day and that is not the intention.
So I would need a macro for it. My problem is that I somewhat know how it should work, but I don't know the syntax to write it. So it should be something like If the data on the next line is the same as the current, then remove the next line, if not go to the next line and check again.
Attach is a Demo –Sample file
The formatting etc is same for real file – Note that the real file will have up to 65000 rows of data like this.
My Problem is to remove conditionally some duplicate rows - however my difficulty trying to thinking about this is that I cant use a unique value comparison as the columns I to L they all are X s so when a X is present in columns I to L need to be conditional on comparing values in other columns
What is needed is to repeat remove duplications in each of the four columns I to L (titled E1, E2, E3, and E4 ) when there is a match of string in columns F, G and M – but don’t delete if on same row there is a value in columns O to S (E5 to E9).
In the demo file – I have highlighted in yellow the rows that would be removed if the code works.
So;
IF there is an “X” in column “I” (E1) and the string in column F (personnel number) is the same as row below it, and the string in column G (person name) is same as below it, and the string in Column M (Team number) is same as row below it, and there are NO values in columns O to S (E5 to E9) on same row – Then delete the duplicate/s – retain only one.
Repeat for columns J, K and L (E2, E3 and E4)
I have a list of what we call "model codes" which are is a similar format to "DFS41FC57DD728NCWRY3"
