Default Please help! - Possibly need a Macro?

Hi,
Today at work, I was presented with an Excel sheet, which denotes
users for the company I work with, which is needed for something
rather urgently.
This Sheet contains over 120 000 rows of data. :(
One thing that is present in the data, that is very important, are
dates, which denote when an amendment to a users details have been
made, and therefore, some users have multiple entries.
What I would like help with is this, I would like to be able to
automatically delete all but the last update of each user. ie :

10/06/99 ; Fred Bloggs
31/02/01 ; Fred Bloggs
02/03/02 ; Fred Bloggs

I would like to be able to automatically erase the first two entries,
leaving only the last. Unfortunately, while I am familiar with
Formulas and charts and such, this falls outside of my level of
knowledge. Would anyone please be able to help?
Regards,

Vert.
