Default Removing Duplicates

XL 2002 SP3, Win XP HE SP1

Hi, what is the BEST way to remove duplicate cells (phone numbers, email
addresses, etc.) from a long list in Excel?

The duplicates usually would be in 1 column (Column "A: for example)

Tx. S

Hi Sat,

See Chip Pearson's Duplicates page at:

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplicat.htm

Alternatively, consider using the Asvanced filter feature, using the Uniques
option.

If you are not familiar with Advanced Filter, see Debra Dalgleish's tutorial
ay:

Using Advanced Filter with unique items checked is normally a good way to
remove duplicates.

Select the column. Then Data Filter Advanced Filter check unique
records only. If you later want to restore the duplicates, you can. If you
want to permanently delete the duplicates, copy the column elsewhere.
