Anyone have a way to check for duplicate cells in multiple rows and
automatically delete them? Thanks!

In an adjacent column, enter this

=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2) where A2 is the first cell in the series you want to
check.
Copy this down as needed.
Use AutoFilter to remove all rows where the value is 1.

you can also use the advanced filter to automatically just show you the
unique records. it's under Data, Filter, Advanced filter. Highlight which
column you want to filter for unique records. Click the Unique records only
box to filter the duplicates then either paste the new set of data on the
same column or in a new column. I suggest you paste it on a new location so
you can verify if it really worked.

That technique has worked for lots and lots of people.

You may want to explain why it didn't work for you.
