Default Filtering duplicate information

Hi Rachael,

In an empty column, cocatenate the fields from the columns that you want to
dedup or filter by.

In another empty column do a countif based on the previous step.

Filter on the second column.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
I have a large speadsheet where some of the columns are identical.
i want to remove the duplicate rows entirely where the identical columns
occur.
i've tried using the advance filter function but because the rows are
slightly different it doesnt work
