Default Multiple Column Criteria which deletes all but Highest Value

Sorry if in wrong Discussion group...

Spreadsheet with columns A thru K -- columns A, E, G, & J have employee data
(name, pay code, pay period, and hours respectively). Frequent pay
adjustments are made to many employees time during a given pay period. I
need to delete all records (rows), but the highest hour total, for the
employee, pay code, and pay period. MS Office SP3, Win XP, Approx 20k rows.

EmpName ENum JCode JDesc PayCode PDesc PayPeriod Hours
Emp A 0000A ABC ABC 055 OT 01/25/09 5
Emp A 0000A ABC ABC 055 OT 01/25/09 7.5
Emp A 0000A ABC ABC 065 ST 01/25/09 8
Emp A 0000A ABC ABC 065 ST 01/25/09 4
Emp B 0000B NBC NBC 055 OT 02/25/09 3
Emp B 0000B NBCN NBC 055 OT 02/25/09 5
Emp B 0000B NBC NBC 055 OT 02/25/09 16

I need to retain rows 3 (7.5), 4 (8), and 8 (16)

Thanks.. ShagNasty
