Combining Duplicates
I have a list of 15, 595 name, address, city etc. In many cases, the husband/name/address/etc. is on the line above the wife name/address/etc. I want to create one mailing label for each couple and I have had no success filtering as they are all "unique" records (with a different "name"). Please help! Thanks!

Not sure if I was clear. The spreadsheet is set up like this:
Smith Jean 4 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 Smith John 4 Main Street Anytown, USA 89455 Jones Bob 8 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 Brown Sally 15 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 Brown Robert 15 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 I don't see how filtering on "address" would help me to achieve one mailing label per address, unless I remove their names and just use "Residents". I think that is my only way out of this, I just hate to lose the more personal touch. Thanks! Quote:

Then you better try: Sub Test() Dim LRow As Long Dim i As Long Application.ScreenUpdating = False LRow = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row For i = LRow To 2 Step -1 With WorksheetFunction If .Trim(Cells(i, 3) & Cells(i, 4)) = _ .Trim(Cells(i - 1, 3) & Cells(i - 1, 4)) Then Cells(i - 1, 2) = Cells(i - 1, 2) & _ " / " & Cells(i, 2) Rows(i).Delete End If End With Next Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub Regards Claus Busch -- Win XP PRof SP2 / Vista Ultimate SP2 Office 2003 SP2 /2007 Ultimate SP2 |

Well Claus, that made my head explode! It is WAY above my understanding or level of competence!
The info is actually in columns (Last Name, First Name, Address, City/State/Zip). I could use concatenate to make a text string out of them but the rest of that scares the beejeebus out of me. Maybe I'll duplicate the file and experiment with what you suggested. Nothing to lose, right? :) THANK YOU - all who have responded - you are the best! |

Make a copy of your workbook, sort the table by City and Address, Press Alt + F11 = Insert = module. Copy and paste the code to that module and run the macro. In your example the rows Brown Sally 15 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 Brown Robert 15 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 will be concatenate to: Brown Robert / Sally 15 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 The rows: Smith Jean 4 Main Street Anytown, USA 89445 Smith John 4 Main Street Anytown, USA 89455 will stay as is because the ZIP differs. You can look he https://skydrive.live.com/#cid=9378A...121822A3%21191 for the workbook "Joannie" and right-click and download it.

CLAUS YOU ARE A GENIUS.
I have no idea how your mind works to solve problems like that! It worked like a charm and my 15K name mailing list is now less than 8K! That represents a tremendous savings in postage, labels, the whole nine yards. I cannot thank or recommend you enough - you are a superstar! Joannie |
