Default Remove duplicates from list but leaving one row with highest date

Hi Tony,

Using the advanced filter you can return unique records, goto data
advanced filter, then give the range you want to filter, leave the
criteria blank and (my preference) tick copy to new region then select
the cell where you want your new range to go and finally make sure you
tick "Unique records only".

If your after the highest date, could you not use the Max formula?

Hi Group,
I am trying to delete duplicate rows but leaving one row where it has
the highest date. For example, I have 250 records in my list but
manually removing duplicates I know that there are 175 unique records
based on most recent date. I need to do this task very often.
I have searched through previous postings but I can't find anything
that meets my needs - can somehelp?

Many thanks
Tony
