I am trying to paste new data into a workbook that may already contain the
it. I need to filter out the old data and insert or keep the new. The new
data is not in the same order as the old. Is there a filter or something that
will find a duplicate and give me the option of which row I want to delete?

Add the new data to the old data, and go to
data/filter/advanced filter and select "unique records
only". This will show you unique records of both the old
and new data. Then copy these unique records into a new
file. Hope this helped.

How would you be able to differentiate between old and new data if it were
able to give you the choice - What field would tell you which is which?

There is a blank cell in the first row of the New Data.
