Filter Out Duplicates Other Than Sorting And Deleting Manually
Mar 13, 2009
I have a report created daily with account numbers, however there are duplicates. Is there a faster way to filter out duplicates other than sorting and deleting manually?
Optionally, to customize the sort operation, on the Options tab, in the Sort group, click Sort. In the Sort <Field name> dialog box, select the type of sort that you want by doing one of the following:
To return items to their original order, click Data source order. This option is only available for OLAP source data. To drag and arrange items the way that you want, click Manual.To select a field to sort by in ascending sort order, select Ascending (A to Z) by, and then select the field from the drop-down list. To select a field to sort by in descending sort order, select Descending (A to Z) by, and then select the field from the drop-down list. Tip Read the Summary section at the bottom of the dialog box to verify your choices.
My problem is this: after following the above steps, then clicking Manual, then ok, I cannot drag and arrange the row labels in the PivotTable.
I have made a small routine that updates an adv. Filter automatically, but is doesn't provide me the right outcome (seems it does nothing). I also recorded my actions and also here an empty outcome.
I m writing a formula that will highlight duplicates. I want to use the supplier code (column D) as the search criteria. can the formula identify these duplicates by entering the word 'duplicate' in column L.
I have a large spreadsheet of over 5,000 rows and 20 columns. What I would like to be able to do is find a formula(?) that will enable me to retain rows of data when Cells in column B and column E contain duplicate data but delete entire rows if the contents of cells in column B and E are not duplicated.
For example:
Column B contains Part Numbers Column E contains Manufacturer
If a part number (Cell B)has been made by two or more manufacturers (Cell E), retain all relevant rows.
If a part number has only been made by one manufacturer, however many times, delete all relevant rows.
What I'm trying to be able to achieve is retain data so that I can analyse it when 2 or more manufacturers have produced the same parts.
I'm still having issues with this workbook. I cannot use a pivot table to fix it, I don't understand them and it confuses me greatly..... so I'm at the mercy of either a formula or macro. I need to combine the duplicate part numbers (a), total the quantities, average the price (d), and total the amount of the part (e). I'm having a very difficult time with it.
(I have a sample attached that is file sample 2, and the entire spreadsheet attached- sample 3)
I have the following problem within Excel. I have a dataset which contains duplicate values within a column(lets say A). I need to delete these duplicates in column A for a range of rows, where the range of the rows is based on column B. So for a given value in column B, lets say 5 which is 6 rows long all beneath each other, I need to delete the duplicates in column A.
I'm trying to take column A (number of records can change from time-to-time and may contain blanks), copy that to column B less duplicates and then use a count forumla to count items in column B based on original list in A. I am aware of how to do this in Excel but am interested in VBA.
Does anyone have a utility which can be used to select a specific column i.e. B:B, which then 'selects' all duplicate values in that column prior to deleting them ?
I have some Job numbers that are duplicates. I can't just do a loop and delete any duplicates that come across because I have to be sure the right one is deleted.
I want the old data to be deleted if there is a duplicate..I just don't know how to verify which one is the old one using VBA. I was thinking of maybe using an advanced filter, but I don't know enough about them.
Is there code that will check both duplicates and delete the old one?
Column A consists of a list of the barcodes I've scanned.
In column A there is sometimes more than one of the same barcode when i have more than one of the same product. is there a way of deleting duplicate barcodes in column a and replace them with a 'Quantity' column?
I have 2 huge lists. One is " the Master list" which I have to extract items that are not already listed on the second list . I don't want to remove duplicate entries,I want to remove the duplicates completely. in both lists, so that I only have items that are not in the second list...
I have two seperate lists. One on Sheet 1 and One on sheet 2. What I need to do is take the list on sheet 2 and compare it to the list on sheet 1. If any of the items appear on sheet one, I need to delete those items form sheet 2.
So in the end the only items left on sheet 2 will be items that dont match any items on sheet 1
I am working with a large spread sheet of people names and the courses that they have attended and what date they attended. The Sheet Identifies : ID No. Names, Courses, Date Attended, Due Date How can i remove all entries execpt for the last date for each qualification entered on each person?
I have a single spreadsheet with a few columns but hundreds of rows. Each row is a property reference (with other data such as address in the columns) with a type of charge in column J and the amount in column K. I'll try to replicate below ...
A B ....... J K Prop1 Prop1Address Rent 100 Prop2 Prop2Address Rent 150 Prop3 Prop3Address Gas 70 Prop4 Prop4Address Water 60 Prop4 Prop4Address Rent 200 Prop4 Prop4Address Elec 80 Prop5 Prop5Address Service 90
I want the sheet to display a property on a single row so would look like as follows ...
A B ....... Rent Gas Water Elec Service Total Prop1 Prop1Address 100 100 Prop2 Prop2Address 150 150 Prop3 Prop3Address 70 70 Prop4 Prop4Address 200 60 80 340 Prop5 Prop5Address 90 90
I have data from Columns A to D. I want to do the following:
1. Look for duplicates in all column A
2. For each duplicate found in column A, check if all values in column B are also duplicate.
3. If the condition in (2) is satisfied, compare column D for all the rows; select the row with the minimum value in column D, and delete the other rows.
I have a macro (below) that takes a CSV File and creates multiple worksheets and then filters specific records out of each newly created sheet. The creation of the sheets works fine. But, after setting the filter and then deleting the selected records, when I try to 'Show All', which should leave the unfiltered records, I get an error indicating something is wrong with the 'ShowAllData' method.
Here is the macro up to the point where the error occurs: ...
I need to review a 400,000 row spreadsheet and remove all records where 5 columns are populated with data so I am only eft with records that are missing information.
i used filters to order addresses, however today i filtered my address column and all the addresses starting with 1 lined up before those starting with two, instead of in numerical order, is there a way to fix my sorting so it goes back to numerical instead of alphabetical?
I'm trying to add a sorting filter dropdown on some columns in a sheet. If I select the column, then use Data -> Filter, it adds the filter. on that column. But then, if I select another column, the "Filter" button in the tool menu is already selected, even though there is no filter for that column. If I click it, the filter on the other column disappears. Then, clicking it again adds a filter for every single column. It seems I'm not able to select f.ex. 3 different columns and add a filter to only those. It's either all or none. Is this how it's supposed to work?
I'm having an issue where advnace filter isnt working and I need to get all of the unique entries.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it but I got some erros saying the numbers were being pu as text so I changed the cell tpe to a custom with 00000000 because the unique number I need to filter is 10 digits long.
As another alternative I would paypal some one a few bux if they can help me just compare two lists and make a report with the number of netries that show up in one list and not the other and vice versa.
I'm working through a filter macro to delete unecessary rows of data from my dataset.
- I have a Dynamic Range for my dataset called "CanadaData" - I'm trying to delete rows from the 5th column of my dataset for cells containing "DIRECTSHIP"
The macro filters the range fine, but when if comes to deleting the row, the macro stops.
Sub CanadaWarehouseFilter() x = Range("E" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Range("E22:E" & x), "DIRECTSHIP") > 0 Then
I'm having a problem deleting duplicates from list in excel. I’ve attached a sample. I’ve tried the following:
1-Advanced Filter, Unique Records Only
2-Remove Duplicates function in Excel 07.
3-Pivot Table
4-Colour Conditional Formatting, sorting by colour
5-B2=IF(A2=A3,”Dup”,”Not-Dup”). The entire column returns “Not-Dup”
6-I’ve tried to resolve using the fix shg & teylyn suggested to Hillto in this thread, but am unable to get the ‘Numeric’ Keypad to appear in the ‘Find’ Function.
I am looking for some code that will use A,B,C as filters to find duplicate cells, and if duplicate found, there should be deleted the duplicated row (but not only the row from a,b,c column, but the whole 8 cells from that row - A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H).
As filter I would like to be used A,B,C columns.

I'm using Excel 2010 and I applied a Data Filter to a simple table. I then messed around with the drop downs in each column, sorting the data by different criteria. After doing this, is there a simple way to get the table to revert back to its original order/form?
In short, I would like a pivot table to only count unique values, but when I click into the pivot I would like to show all instances of that value. For example:
I have a table of data that I am creating a pivot table from. There are fields for Customer ID, Task Name, Age, and Notes. There will be multiple records for a single Customer ID each time it has new notes.
I would like to create a pivot table that has Task Name in the Row Labels, Age in the Column Labels, and count of Customer ID in the Values, so that, for example, I can see how many accounts have been in the Design task for 2 days. However, when I do this it counts each record, but I would like it to count each unique Customer ID. Also, when I click into the pivot, instead of pulling up one line per Customer ID, I would like it to pull up each instance of Customer IDs in that Task Name/Age combination (similar to doing a DISTINCT in SQL).
