Hi
Not sure if this is possible but i have created a spreadsheet with data that i want to keep adding to. But the data that I will be copying over and adding will have a lot of info that is already on my spreadsheet. What I want to do is to be able to only copy across the new information without having to go through each individually. And i wasnt sure if there was any way of excel deleting the duplicate info? Any suggestions or help would be fantastic Thanks a lot |

Hi,
You can solve this problem by using Advanced Filter option in Excel. For example A (Column) Name a c a e a d a e Just click on the label (in the above example it is Name (Cell A1), And then click Data-- Advanced Filter -- And then click the check box, Unique records only check box. And also give the cell address in which you want to display the unique records (Copy to option in dialog box, example B1). Then you will get the following output A B name name a a c c a e e d a d a e Hope this will clear your doubt.
