Deleting the first row of two duplicates.
I am looking at stars. All the stars are named and I am trying to delete the
ones that duplicated. Star Name Other Star Name 1 F1 1 2 3 F3 3 It looks a bit like that. Anyway, need to delete the ones with F1 and F3 in them as they are not as accurate. Tried using that cpearson code but it deletes the wrong row. Tried using an IF function - =IF(A20,0,1) and then sorting again so that it sorts it by Star name and then descending order 1 then 0. Then tried copying this and pasting special with values only and sorting again. None of these worked. Please help! Thanks. |

Hi Georgyneedshelp
You can insert a formula like this in your data table and filter and delete the cells you want =IF(COUNTIF($C$1:$C$13,C2)=1,"Unique",IF(COUNTIF($ C$1:$C$13,C2)=0,"Empty","Duplicate("& COUNTIF($C$1:C2,C2)&")")) Change the range to yours DataRefiner can do it for you if you want http://www.rondebruin.nl/datarefiner.htm -- Regards Ron de Bruin http://www.rondebruin.nl "Georgyneedshelp" wrote in message ...

Deleting the first row of two duplicates.
It still hasn't worked. Hmmmm... Anymore suggestions?
The row with the duplicate star names is in the E column and the thing that makes me know whether I want to delete them is in the R column. If there is writing in the R column and it is a duplicate (i.e. the star has two sets of data for the same star given in the E column) then I want to delete the entire row. Thanks!
