Removing Duplicate Rows, But Keeping The First One.
Feb 28, 2008
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 have a spreadsheet with only 80 rows in it and I need data from another spreadsheet with over 200 rows. One of these rows in each spreadsheet contains a matching field (Job #). I only want the 80 matching rows data from the over 200 row sheet.
Is there an easy way to combine these two. Even adding the 80 to the 200+ will be fine as I can just remove the blanks. I can't figure out a way to combine them and match them up.

I need to merge rows with duplicate values in column A (Patient Name being the most important one), with columns B, C, & D usually having different isolated values as well. Columns E, F, G, H, & I are date columns, but the data is always going to be the number 1, meaning a patient was seen once that day (if they were seen two times that day for different reasons, information would be in an unmerged second row [same patient name listed in two separate rows], where columns B & C would be different). Column J is an autosum of columns E through I if that makes a difference. Column K is a notes column. The data that needs to be merged is always added to the bottom of the spreadsheet in order to show that a patient was seen on any given day, with columns B through K almost always being blank. Example:
Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes
Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------------------------------------0-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3----------------------------------------------0
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2---------------------------------------------0
Alice Alpha-----------------------------------------------1
Carl Carlisle--------------------------------------1--------------1---------------1
Ernie Elephant-------------------------------------------1---------------1
This is what I'm hoping it can look like:
Column A---------Column B---Col C----Col D--Col E--Col F--Col G--Col H--Col I--Col J---------Col K
Patient Name-----Therapist---Shared--%P----2/3----2/4----2/5-----2/6----2/7---Total Visits--Notes
Alice Alpha--------AB----------PT-------1---------------1-----------------------------1-------------blah
Boris Beta---------BC----------SELF----2----------------------------------------------0------------blahblah
Carl Carlisle-------CD---------PTA------3-------1--------------1---------------1------3
Carl Carlisle-------AB---------SELF-----2----------------------------------------------0
Donny Delta-------DE---------PT--------1---------------------------------------------0
Ernie Elephant-----EF---------PTA-------2--------------1---------------1-------------2
In this example Carl Carlisle is being seen for two different things, however how would it be written so the macro would know which Carl Carlisle row to merge with? I'm thinking that before running the macro I could manually enter the information into column B so it knows which Carl Carlisle row above to merge with.
Data always starts at row 14 (row 13 is frozen pane header column), and extends to a row that is different every week depending on how many people happen to be in the list.
I found something from this link that looks very similar to what I need, but with no knowledge of coding, I have no idea how it should be tweaked: Merge Duplicate Rows Keeping Data In Same Columns
I know I'm asking a lot, but the amount of time this takes to manually go through hundreds of rows of patient names every week is incredibly time consuming, and I have too many other things to stay on top of at work for this to drag me down day in and day out.

I need the macro for deleting duplicate rows only it should keep one lowest value row.
for e.g.
Column A Column B
TS1234 100
TS1234 50
TS1234 200
Macro will compair dublicates in column A & it will keep lowest value row (i.e. 50 value in Column B), other dublicate rows will be deleted.

After sorting and filtering rows with in a set range I will have several rows that are almost duplicates. This is normal and expected due to how the workbook is used. Among these rows also will be several single rows that are not duplicates. It is important that I combine any two duplicates into one row. Example:
CREATE TABLES LIKE BELOW?
ABC D E F G H I J K
1 NameA 0XX15930777PS101300PS9
2 NameA0XX15930777PS91200PS10
3 NameX1159XXP555FBX1545PS9
4 NameB0A1234P123PS101263PS9
5 NameB1A1234P123PS90512PS10
What I need is this end result:
CREATE TABLES LIKE BELOW?
ABC D E F G H I J K
1 NameA 0XX15930777PS91200PS10PS101300PS9
2 NameX1159XXP555FBX1545PS9
3 NameB1A1234P123PS90512PS10PS101263PS9
It’s important that the data in each column stay with in that same column. Also of course it needs to be on the same row with the same person (NameA and NameB). The Columns that would determine if it’s a duplicate are D and E –. I would need this to be preformed via macro or some easy way so that others will not have a hard time. It will be on a protected Shared Workbook with Excel 2003. I've enclosed a Sample. How can I sort these or accomplish this and maintain the data where it needs to be?

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)

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?

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 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.

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 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).

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 dumped main frame data into excel. It is customer info that is in three rows of data each. I need to know if its possible to group or somehow keep three rows of data together for multiple sorts. The first row is the customer name, the second row is their first line of address, the third row is the city, state and zip. I need to add columns to this dumped data, but I will need to do a number of sorts for different views of the data. But as I've stated every 3 rows go together. I've tried different ways to group (for lack of a better word) the three rows, but nothing I've tried works. I've also done multiple searches, but either I'm not searching on the right word or this can't be done.

I feel as though I have spent enough time searching the previous posts to ask this question.
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 have a spreadsheet with a lot of financial information going down a column (about 500 rows down). Most of the cells are just typed in, but certain rows have sum formulas in them. Is it possible to copy values from another workbook, paste the values in, but somehow keep the formulas that are running through?

I have an excel file with over 20 worksheets and each of them have around 1200 rows. The first column in each worksheet contains the variable names and then the data associated to it is present horizontally.
I only want to keep around 80 rows from those 1200 rows. They are not in sequence (means they are not in continuous order) so I manually selected those rows by deleting the non required rows step by step.
I did it manually on 2 worksheets but I don't want to do that manually over 20 worksheets. Is there any method that can speedup the whole process.
I am attaching the snapshots of the worksheets..
This one is before I deleted the unwanted rows.
This one is after the deletion of unwanted rows.

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)
