Default Filtering for Unique Records

I forgot to ad

If you only want to have unique records then only Advanced filter will work
With the helper column you can use AutoFilter maybe for other things

See this page for a Advanced example

Good luck

Hi captculver

Maybe you can create a new column that make one string of the 5 fields and filter
for unique fields with Advanced filter

Like this

=A1&B1&C1&D1&E1

And copy down

I'm working with a dataset of approx 2K records; each record has 15 fields.
The uniqueness of each record is defined by 5 fields. Is there a way to
filter for unique records given these conditions?? Thanks...
