Removing Duplicate Rows, But Keeping The First One.
Feb 28, 2008I 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.

Jul 24, 2009I 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)
Removing Duplicate Lines
Aug 19, 2009I need some adv on how to remove lines that containing duplicate cells. My data is up the max lines of 65536.
I have data in column D that have duplicate value and I need to remove that duplicate line from the list ( thus leaving only unique value). Is there any macro that can do this?
Removing Duplicate Entries From Two Lists?
Aug 15, 2008Let'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?
Removing Specific Duplicate Values?
Apr 2, 2013I 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?

Removing Unwanted Duplicate Lines
Sep 16, 2009Hi, 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?
Removing Duplicate Words In Individual Cells?
Aug 8, 2014I have a column that is filled with various car brands that a dealership might sell. The data in the cell may look like CHRYSLER; CHRYSLER; CHRYSLER which I would want to just say CHRYSLER. If the cell says CHRYSLER; FORD; CHRYSLER; FORD I want it to just say CHRYSLER; FORD.
View 1 Replies View RelatedRemoving Duplicate Data Based On Conditions
Oct 10, 2011Currently 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!
Removing Duplicate Records From Customer List
Mar 27, 2008I have a list of customers that contains duplicate records. These records ALSO include thier addresses WHICH may or may not be identical.
Example: Customer with LAST NAME in A1, FIRST NAME in B1 may be the same person as A2 and B2, however each record may have a different address in column C1 and C2 respectively.
I want to be able to filter out all duplicate customers based soley on the first and last name (data in columns A and B).
Removing Duplicate Values From Column - Case Sensitive
May 22, 2013Suppose 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..
Removing Duplicate Entries From List Of Names And Addresses
Jun 12, 2006I'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.

Mar 10, 2006I have a report that pulls data from another worksheet in Range A26:J58.
What I want to be able to do is assign a button for printing the report but
before printing from A1:J70 removing or hiding any row in the A26:J58 range
where there is no data. The range is filled from row 26 down so it is not a
random fill.
Also, I want to save this workbook as a template so that it can be used over
again, so I guess it would not be good to delete the rows in the range
otherwise I would have to recreate them.
Removing First Two Empty Rows
Aug 31, 2007After importing a text file I use a macro to format it, but one part I can't figure out is how to delete the first two empty rows. I need to delete them because the cells in each of these rows are merged together which complicates data manipulation. As you would expect, the row number will be different with each import. Can anyone help with code that would accomplish this?

Mar 30, 2009I've got a spreadsheet that uses about 2200 rows and about 15 columns. However, when I try to insert a column, it freezes up the application. My assumption is that this is caused by the fact that there are in excess of 65,000 rows. When I try to highlight those 63,000 rows and delete them, the system freezes up as well.
These excess rows are unnecessary and I'm sure add to the file size.

How To Dynamically Insert Rows With Duplicate Data Of Previous Rows
Oct 30, 2013I have a spread sheet with values in the area of A1:H834
In column H, I have number values from 1-7.
Essentially that number value means that the values in the row are duplicate.
So, for example, if H2 has a value of 4, that means that $A$2:$G$2, really should have an additional 3 rows underneath with the EXACT same data in each cell, however, the way the sheet was created, was to remove the duplicate values and just indicate in column H, the number value of how many duplicates $A$2:$G$2 really is.
I need to unpackage this and create what it was originally. What type of formula can I use, to look at the value in H2, and then insert underneath that number of rowes with the exact same data as A2:G2 and do the same for the remainder of the table all the way down to A834:G834

Jan 24, 2013removing empty rows from my set of data.
I have a big set of data that I'm copying and pasting into excel. When I paste it there are 2 empty rows between each line of data. I want to remove these empty rows, without affecting the data. I tried 'Go to special...' and deleting all empty cells and stuff but I couldn't get it to work. The problem is that there are blank cells in some of the rows that I want to keep. When I try to remove the blank rows, I also end up removing rows of data that I want to keep.
I've made an example for you to try and explain it better - attached.
remove all of the rows that are completely empty, but leave any row that has any data in it (at any point), that would be awesome!
