Default Removing duplicate entries

How about keeping the values in the cell, but using format|conditional
formatting to make those duplicates look empty?

Debra Dalgleish shows how:

And this will make it easier if you ever have to sort/filter the data.

My company just purchased an email list that has numberous duplicate emails.
It looks something like this:

First Name Last Name Email
Thomas Gordon
William Hughes

Robert Doby

Carter Burdette

Claudia Coscia

Christine Holland

Joel Hayhurst

Krista Bates

William Hayward

D Wade Cloud

John Sonderegger


We would like to remove all duplicate emails except for the first occuring
one so that it would look like this:

First Name Last Name Email
Thomas Gordon

William Hughes
Robert Doby
Carter Burdette
Claudia Coscia
Christine Holland
Joel Hayhurst

Krista Bates
William Hayward
D Wade Cloud
John Sonderegger


Is there some way to set up a filter to do this automatically? Thanks for
your help in advance!!
