I have an issue where I'm trying to remove duplicate rows from a table
(leaving one so that it is unique) and then another issue where I'm trying to remove all duplicate rows in a table such that there are no rows containing that data left. The spread sheet consists of rows like this: Col 1 Col 2 Col 3 Col 4 Stuff Stuff Something 1 Stuff Stuff Something 1 Stuff Stuff Stuff 0 Stuff Stuff Nada 1 Stuff Stuff Nada 1 Stuff Stuff Nada 1 Stuff Stuff Stuff 0 Stuff Stuff Stew 0 In this case Column 3 is the one that needs testing to see if they are dups, all other columns are irrelavent. Basically what I was thinking was, in terms of an algorithm: Mark all duplicates with 1 whether they are above or below (thus needing the OR statement): =(if below == above, 1 OR if above == below, 1) Then delete all rows with 1 in that Column 4. The standard if that marks all but last duplicate could be: "=if(A2=A1, 1, 0)" After this things really start getting fuzzy as I'm not familiar enough with programmatically working with Excel. I'm at a loss as to how to do this in Excel or if there would be an even better way of doing this. I would appreciate it much if anyone can demonstrate how this would be accomplished. |
