Deleteing Duplicate Rows???
 

Hi Experts

I have a excel sheet of over 5000 rows of data (I get a
differnt one every week). Is their a way to delete a
duplicate, triplicate etc (it could have unlimited number
of same data) based on Value in Column A. i.e Value in
Column A are determining factor in deciding which row
should be considered duplicate.
I would ike to achieve this totaly through VBA in Excel
2002. I would appricate in your help if its possible.

Thanks a lot

Deleteing Duplicate Rows???
 

James,

Here is a very quick way of doing it

Sub filterData()
Dim cRows As Long
Dim rng As Range
Dim testFormula As String

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

Columns("G:G").Insert
Rows(1).Insert
Cells(1, "G").Value = "Temp"

With ActiveSheet
cRows = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
testFormula = "=IF(COUNTIF(F$2:F2,F2)1,""Y"" ,"""")"
'create a test formula
.Cells(2, "G").Formula = testFormula
'copy the formula down all rows
.Cells(2, "G").AutoFill Destination:=.Range(.Cells(2, "G"), _
.Cells(cRows, "G"))
Set rng = .Range("G:G")
rng.AutoFilter Field:=1, Criteria1:="Y"

End With

rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeVisible).EntireRow.Dele te

Columns("G:G").Delete

Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

Sub Tester1()
Dim rng as Range, rng1 as Range
Set rng = Range(Range("C4"),Cells(rows.count,3).End(xlup))
rng.Replace What:="a", Replacement:="=Na()", LookAt:=xlWhole, _
SearchOrder:=xlByRows, MatchCase:=False
On Error Resume Next
set rng1 = rng.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeFormulas, xlErrors)
On Error goto 0
If not rng1 is nothing then
rng1.EntireRow.Delete
End if
End Sub

Cathal,

Because you delete a row, the With statement has no object. Try this version

Dim RowNdx As Long
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
LastRow = ActiveSheet.Cells(Rows.Count, "F").End(xlUp).Row
For RowNdx = LastRow To 1 Step -1
With Cells(RowNdx, "F")
If .Value = "Prioritization" Then
Rows(RowNdx).Delete
ElseIf .Value = "Dev Analysis" Then
Rows(RowNdx).Delete
ElseIf .Value = "Suspend" Then
Rows(RowNdx).Delete
ElseIf .Value = "Escalated" Then
Rows(RowNdx).Delete
End If
End With
Next RowNdx

Is there any chance you get me some code to delete a row on the basi
that a cell in one of its columns contains text. My reason for this i
that, the row is relavant if the problem report column is empty, wher
as if it has some text in it like CYUFR1234 it must be deleted from th
spreadsheet.

Thanks again,
Cathal
