I am totally new to macros and would like some assistance on a macro that
will look at a column of data and when it finds a duplicate, delete the
entire correspnding row. I've searched through the group and found ones that
will delete just one of the 2 or more rows but I need them all deleted.

Here is an example

To start with:

1 data
1
1
2 data
3 data
3
4 data
5 data
5
5

and end with:

2 data
4 data

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

You don't need a macro.

In B1, add =IF(COUNTIF(A:A,A1)1,"Dup","")

Then put an autofilter on column B and filter to True

Delete all visible rows.

This would be useful for me too. This is what I got:

Col A Col B

1 data
1 Dup
1 Dup
2 data
3 data
3
4 data
5 data
5 Dup
5 Dup

1) I don't see how to filter on True, and 2) I don't think it will give the
result he requested

and end with:

2 data
4 data

nevermind, I think I took the example too literally. If he meant this, then
it worked

1 data Dup
1 data Dup
1 data Dup
2 data
3 data Dup
3 data Dup
4 data
5 data Dup
5 data Dup
5 data Dup

Actually I think my example was misunderstood
I need it to delete all the rows were the number has a duplicate in the
column below it.

Start with:
Number Date
123456 01/21/05
123456
123456
234567 03/25/05
234567
345678 12/11/04
456789 09/19/04
456789
567890 04/26/05

End With:
Number Date
345678 12/11/04
567890 04/26/05

The application for this is I'm trying to prep some information for Data
Entry.
Lets say I have Database A which is information that needs to be Data Entered.
Database B is the information that already has been entered.
I have a worksheet that is generated from a Database A, I then have to run a
query in Database B to see in any of the numbers in column A match. I then
plug that information into the worksheet and delete the duplicate rows. At
times there are 1000's of records, so I was looking for a way to automate it.
Is this possible?

Thanks,

Your data does not match the description. My original formula in C2 down
still works.
