Default finding duplicates and deleting based on another column

I have a spreadsheet of data that I have compiled from 6 different workbooks.
I have used a true false statement to identify the duplicated and now I need
to delete them based on which spreadsheet they came from. The consolidated
spreadsheet I have currently has 28,000 records, I am currently deletleting
them manually but this will take me until I am 100 to go thru. Any help on
this would be great.

In column A I have numbers:
56088769
57499354
60175071
60175071
60175071
5608437X
5608437X
5608437X

As you can see there could be 2 to 6 duplicate numbers. I need to find the
duplicates in column A, then evaluted column J to see where the source of
the data came from. The choices a


Raw 02-06
PG &E Composite Data
PG&E Data 08

This is also the order of choice, if there are 4 duplicates and Raw 02-06 is
an option then delete the rest of the duplicates leaving only this one. If
there is a duplicate and raw isn't available then pick option 2 and so on.

Thank you for your help, it is greatly appreciated.
