Default Scan and remove column data query

Apologies... I don;t know how we both reached the same conclusion...

Sub ClearDupRows()
lastVal = Cells(2, 1)
i = 3
While Cells(i, 1) < ""
If Cells(i, 1) = lastVal Then
Range("A" & i & ":D" & i).ClearContents
Else
lastVal = Cells(i, 1)
End If
i = i + 1
Wend
End Sub

Hi,


I have a spreadsheet (http://iedmont.blogspot.com/) and am trying to find
a solution to scan column A for duplicates and if found, remove the cell
contents of the active cell, column B, column, C and column D.


So as an example in the example sheet, it would scan column A for data1,
leave cell contents of A2, B2, C2, D2, E2 and F2 in place and remove cell
contents A3 to D5. Then keep all cell contents in row 6 (only one entry
found for data2). Then keep all row 7 cell contents and remove A8 to D13,
leave row 14 and finally leave row 15 and remove A16 to D16. All data in
columns E and F to remain.


Can anyone help please?


Many thanks.

Sorry guys. May be I din't explain very well but if you go tohttp://iedmont.blogspot.com/I have posted what the result should look like.
I think your solutions are deleting entire rows?

Thanks.
