Default Formula for formatting rows and columns minimizing the outcome.
I am using Excel 2007.

I have 3 columns A, B, and C such as below:

TU10-10 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-10.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-11 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-11.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-12 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-12.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-13 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-6 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-6.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-7 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-7.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-8 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-8.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-9 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU10-9.5 TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU12-10 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-10.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-11 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-11.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-12 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-12.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-13 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-6 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-6.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-7 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-7.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-8 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-8.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-9 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band
TU12-9.5 TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band

I have over 12000 rows with similar data for multiple products. I need to
minimize the rows so that I have only one row for each product(such as one
row for TU10 and one row for TU12) I need only one description(column C) per
item. I do not need column A at all.

For instance, instead of the example above with multiple rows for the 2
products in column B(TU10 and TU12) I need only 2 rows and 2 columns. For
example:

TU10 Tungsten Satin Wedding Band
TU12 Tungsten Brushed Wedding Band

Any thoughts on a formula to accomplish my task?

Thank you.

Default Formula for formatting rows and columns minimizing the outcome.
You can make use of Advanced Filter option

1. Assign headers for these columns in row 1.
2. Select Columns B and C
3. From menu DataFilterAdvanced Filter
4. Select 'Copy to another location'
5. In 'Copy to' select a cell (say G1 )
6. Check 'Unique Records' and click OK..
