Find Duplicate names and delete problem
Since Adv Filter requires a header row, the first "Name 1" is treated as the
header, and copied over no matter what. -- Best Regards, Luke M "Brad" wrote in message ...

Find Duplicate names and delete problem
Most likely Excel is seeing top name1 as a title.
Add something to C1 then select C1:C26 and inform Excel that C1 is a title.
