Hi
I have a list of email addresses and wish to filter the duplicates
based on the first few characters only being duplicated....example.....
So, I need to extract a shorter list with only one row for each
"person"
Anyone got any ideas?

Add a column with the following formula:
=SUBSTITUTE(A1,MID(A1,FIND("@",A1)-12,12),"")
Then filter for unique entries based upon that column.- Hide quoted text -
- Show quoted text -
Thanks for the quick response.....
it almost works....
this is what I need to end up with....
COLUMN
1
COLUMN 2
* * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * * THIS ONE TAKEN OUT AS IT IS EFFECTIVELY THE SAME PERSON AS THE ONE ABOVE
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
* * * * * * * * * *
Struggling with this one! ;)
Try this:
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(--(SUBSTITUTE($A$1:A1,MID($A$1:A1,FIND("@",$A$1:A1)-12,12),"*")=
SUBSTITUTE(A1,MID(A1,FIND("@",A1)-12,12),"")))=1,A1,"")- Hide quoted text -
- Show quoted text -
Jeeeez - where do you learn this stuff - NASA? ;;)) I'll give it a
try! Thanks
