Default EXCEL find adn delete

I've got a 7 column EXCEL sheet. I want to eliminate duplicate entries. The
problem is that I need to locate duplicate last names in one column and then
examine the entries in each line before deleting one of the lines.

Is this possible? Or do I have to go down each record manually?

Thank you.
