Perhpas DataSort on a copy of your worksheet would work for you.

Duplicates should be adjacent after a sort.

BTW.................. Advanced filtering does not "automatically delete"
records.

It just selects the unique records and leaves you to decide what to do with
them.

For more on selecting/highlighting/tagging duplicates see Chip Pearson's site
