Default deleting entire rows with the same cell value in the first col

Pedro

Did you try the steps Michael gave?

Each duplicate in column A will have a "Y" in column B after you drag/copy the
formula down.

After you filter on "Y" and delete those rows only unique items will remain.

But the thing is that I have a lot of diferent values that are
repeated....so I would have to do it for each one of those values...

Pedro, assuming your data starts in a1, in b1 type =if(a1=a2,"Y","") and copy
down for the length of your data. Then filter on Y and delete all those
rows. HTH
