Default Need Help filtering data

Hello Ryan
Thanks but unfortunately I am new to macros and I can't seem to make it work.
It said there is a sintax error on this line and it is on red:

If ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Offset(i, k).Value <
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Offset(j, k).Value Then

I have no clue how to go about this.
Sorry and thank again for your help.

If the first macro doesn't give you your desired results, try this one (which
checks multiple columns, not just Column A):
Sub DeleteDuplicateRows()
Dim lLastRow As Long
Dim lLastCol As Long
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim k As Long
lLastRow = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Rows.Count - 1
lLastCol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count - 1
For i = 0 To lLastRow - 1
For j = lLastRow To i + 1 Step -1
For k = 0 To lLastCol
If ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Offset(i, k).Value <
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Offset(j, k).Value Then
Exit For
End If
Next k
If k lLastCol Then
ActiveSheet.Range("A1").Offset(j, 0).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next j
Next i
End Sub
'Remember, you are DELETING data; try these macros on a sample of your data.
You definitely don't want to accidentally delete data because of some
silly/preventable mistake.

On Error GoTo EndMacro

Hello and thanks for your time reading this post.
If this question has been answered before I will be glad to look at it but
so far I could not find it.
I dont know how to program in Excel so I was wondering if there is a command
or formula that will do this:
I have a list of numbers like
A B C
1 135 200 351
2 135 200 351
3 500 179 165
4 500 179 165
5 702 205 140
6 702 205 140
And after the formula or function the result I need is:
A B C
1 135 200 351
2 500 179 165
3 702 205 140
So basically, it will remove any extra line containing the same values and
return only one.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards
