Default Need help finding non-duplicate email addresses...

Take a look at Debra's site again.

It's more of a process than anything else.

Hi Dave,

I guess I'm being a "real dunce case" about this. Can you send me a sample
Excel Spreadsheet describing how to do this process using the data I posted
above? You can send the file to gamouning at yahoo.com.

With appreciation,
Greg

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply. I guess I am still not clear on what I want.
Filtering on unique records does eliminate duplicate e-mail addresses but
keeps a copy of the original. I want to eliminate the original and keep only
the non-duplicates.

Hope this is more clear.

You could use data|filter|advanced filter (unique records only) and put the list
in a different location.

Then delete the original and keep the filtered list. Make sure you have a
header in your list.
