Hi, I have a report that has multiple lines for the same job with notes of issues and solutions. Each line has a date assosiated with it.
What I need to do is to delete all of the notes apart from the first one. I have attached a sample of the data and highlighted the rows that need to be kept.
I have left the data in it's raw form as it is not always extracted in date order.
Can anyone help me out with a Macro that will sort the data and remove all rows apart from the earliest note per job number?

I would like to add a piece to a macro that would delete lines that contain, in the column A, the letter A with a hyphen and a random number. Column A contains different information...I just want to delete the ones with "A-" followed by a number. Should I be able to use "A-*" in the formula?
Here is what I'm trying thus far...
Code:
For K = n To 2 Step -1
If Cells(K, 1).Value = "A-*" Then Cells(K, 1).EntireRow.Delete
Next K
Dim L As Integer, p As Double
p = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row

I have a texfile that populates a textbox on a userform. I would like to remove all blank lines in the string including those at the end if they exist, before populating the textbox. I'm reading the entire file at once into the string, not line by line.
Is there any way to edit the string called Text to remove the blank lines before populating the textbox? I'm looking for 2 carriage return characters in a row, and if so then remove one of them, but I don't know how to code that. This is in the userform activate section. If I read the textfile line by line, I don't know how to populate the textbox that way and remove the blank lines.

For each unique value of Order Number [col A] + Line Number [col B], I need a program which will locate the first instance of Next Stat [col D] = 530 and the first instance of col D = 540, deleting the other lines. The output will have two lines remaining for each unique col A+B combination, one where col D = 530 and another = 540. The data will always be sorted in date/time order prior to running this program. The actual data set has a varying number of lines, usually 1000+.

I merged about 15 adresslists from media contacts to one excel list. Each list had a name i.e. music, health, theater, etc. and the same logic in colums. I added a few columns and have 1 large list now.
As some journalists write about music & health & theater, architecture, etc. they are listed up to 10 times in the new list now. But the "genres" from the original list i.e. music, health, theater, etc. are in different columns. Some of the lines have empty fields (i.e. no address or mail)
All I want to do is have one line with all the information of all 10 lines in it, merged, dupes removed:
company - firstname - lastname - Adress - Mail, etc. : genre: music - health - theater:
example.xlsx
I atteched an example of the full list and the result i want

I need to restructure a report that I have imported into Excel.
My columns are titled (from left to right):
Company Name, Account ID, Client Code, Billing Street, Contact Name, Contact Number
There are many rows per Company because every company has many contacts. As a result, for each company, the Company Name, Account ID, Client Code, etc. columns with their associated information in the fields underneath the heading are repeated unnecessarily.
How can I delete the extraneous fields of information (leaving one Company Name field filled out per company) without having to go in an manually deleting them (which would take hours)

I have a large spreadsheet of data, with various columns with different bank names, the amount (column H) each bank holds plus loads of other columns. Some of the banks are duplicated, so in a way I want to do an advanced filter to get rid off the duplicate lines, except that I need the amounts (column H) summed.

I am trying to setup a table for someone to track and schedule service hours on heavy machinery.
I have a table with columns for Make, Model/SN(which is the unique field in each row), date of last service, hours at last service, current hours and an hours since last service. Service needs to be done at 500 hours so I filter the table based on the hours since last service for >= 400 hours. That's fine, but it shows multiple lines per machine. Is there a way to use a custom filter to find duplicate values in the Model/SN column and then only show the row with the max date of last service?
I'm sure this would be a cinch with VBA, but I would like to find a way that if something changes later on after I am gone that he can still possibly figure out how to make it work.

Let's say I have two mailing lists, A and B.
A:
bob@bob.com
jeff@jeff.com
tom@tom.com
cindy@cindy.com
jose@jose.com
B:
fred@fred.com
jeff@jeff.com
angus@angus.com
cindy@cindy.com
chuck@chuck.com
Now I want to create list C, a modified version of list B, which is made up of everybody in list B, EXCEPT for those people who are also present in list A (in this case, Jeff and Cindy).
So basically list C should look like this:
C:
fred@fred.com
angus@angus.com
chuck@chuck.com
What would be the fastest and most efficient way to create list C?

I have a data set that I add information to weekly. I then add a value at the end of the row, example active or inactive. I've found that, when using the remove duplicate function, it does not always remove the second instance, resulting in a loss of that added data(active or inactive). So I guess my question is, can I somehow specify which instance of duplicated data is removed?

I have an excel spreadsheet with approximately 10000 rows. There are approximately 10 columns...
Column A - person's ID number
Column B - name
Column C - Street Address
Column D - City
Column E - State
etc...
It being such a large list there are many many duplicates (it was pulled from a bunch of different excel spreadsheets and combined into one via copy and pasting one document into the other).
I figured out a way to have excel highlight the duplicates in a different color... but scrolling through 10k people and deleting the duplicates is obviously very tedious (approx 40% of the spreadsheet is duplicates).
Is there a way to sort out the duplicates (via their ID number, column A) so that there are no repeats? I want to get rid of the 2nd/3rd/4th (etc) occurance of the person's information but I was to obviously keep the first occurance.
I tried using Advanced Filter but I must have done something wrong because it shrunk the list too far down.

I need to extract lines in a huge text file (more than 300,000 records ) based on one condition. for e.g.
02/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
05/03/07 323453789 hsjksk sjdlsl
04/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
02/03/07 123456789 hsjksk sjdlsl
I need extract of lines where the date and the digits are the same. in above example it should extract only record line 1 and record line 4. Some body advised me to try MSAccess , but I have never used MS Access and have no clue about it , hence i don't want to use it. Is there a way in VBA to code this ?

Currently trying to solve a niggling issue with removing duplicate row data from competition entry databases using the following code...
Code:
Sub remove_duplicates()
Dim lastrow As Long
Dim i As Long, j As Long
On Error GoTo errhandler
Columns("A:G").Sort Key1:=Range("A2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Range("B2") _
[Code] ......
errhandler:
'MsgBox Err.Description
End Sub
What I need to happen is for duplicates to be based on both the name and email matching (columns A + B) and then remove all duplicate rows, whilst ignoring but preserving the content in columns C,D,E and F on those rows that remain. Column G contains either "Yes" or "No" depending on a users membership status. Sometimes duplicated data will contain identical name and email address but have different membership status in column G where someone was logged in when submitting a form the first time, and then logged out the next (potentially a mixture of the two over multiple times). Therefore I need any duplicate users who have different values in the G column throughout the database to be detected by the macro and we must ensure that the single row retained in the final non-duplicated list displays "Yes" in column G for that user.
Duplicate users who are always "yes" or always "no" work fine, its only the ones with mixed values for column G that need to be analysed and their return forced as Yes in the final list.
The final list should preserve the original column structure and thus be only one row per unique user.
The above code appeared to work the first time with a sample file, but when running the macro on one of my full size lists (3k - 5k rows) it returns 2 rows for each user who started off as a mixture of Yes/No... ?
Both rows will say yes in column G (so that part is correct!) but I have to re-run the macro again on the same dataset for it to remove the duplicate yes rows to get the list as it finally should be!
So I can achieve the result by running it twice, but this is a bit of a cheating way to do it and also the next stage after this involves something similar across multiple worksheets so I need something rock solid to build upon!

I have a report with ~44,000 line items. From this report, I need assistance generating a report that lists all unique line items. I am having problems trying to identify which line items are duplicates as I need to compare 4 different cells in each line to other lines to determine if it is a duplicate item (compare data from columns A, B, E, F)
For example, raw data may be as follows:
Column A………Column B…….Column E…………….....Column F
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008…….22222222…….239103302000………..222.22
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008…….33333333…….353496508000………..333.33
10/13/2008…….44444444…….239103302000………..444.44
10/13/2008…….11111111…….71879W561000……….888.88
10/13/2008 ……11111111…….353496508000………..888.88............................
Note from above, there are two occurrences of a duplicate item. As a result, the output table would only list this item once.
I have attached a sample of the spreadsheet with dummy data on one tab and the desired output on another tab. Note that all the data is broken up into blocks of data that is separated by data that is only in the first column of the row.

Suppose I have some data in a column like below
Blue
Red
Green
green
red
RED
BLUE
I need a macro or excel formula so that it will remove duplicate products- case sensitive(removing all duplicate prod using using excel,that i know.) i.e. it should not consider Blue BLUE as duplicate. only consider Blue Blue as duplicate.
So the macro should work same as data -> remove duplicate function already exists in excel, except it will be case sensitive..

I'm trying to remove duplicate entries from a list of names & addresses.
What I'm after is some VBA code which will examine row by row the 'post code' field and the 'Full name' field and highlight/delete duplicate entries.
Its best illustrated by an example
Full Name Address Postcode
Mr C. Verougstraete 6 somone st, Leicester HY8 9YK
Mrs R. Brazier 8 high st HY9 9LK
Mr C. Verougstraete 6 somone st, HY8 9YK
The last record is obviously a duplicate of row 2 therefore will be removed.

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 am using the following macro to insert the word "Duplicate" in the first blank column next to a duplicate row. My data is sorted by the first column. Data Example:
12345 a
12345 a DUPLICATE
11111 b
23123 b
Here is the macro I am using and it does not work. It marks the first duplicate it finds then goes into an infinite loop. Any Idea where I went wrong?
Sub MarkDupes()
x = ActiveCell.Row
y = x + 1
Do While Cells(x, 1).Value <> ""
Do While Cells(y, 1).Value <> ""
If (Cells(x, 1).Value = Cells(y, 1).Value) Then
Cells(y, 3).Formula = "Duplicate"
Else
y = y + 1
End If
Loop
x = x + 1
y = x + 1
Loop
End Sub

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

102
105
100
101
102
105
Col D
5
4
2

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)
[Code]....
