How do I remove duplicate fields in excel
Hello,
I have a database where I need to strip out any instances where the text value of a cell is duplicated further down in the column. For instance, if cell c3 = "I hate you" and cell c200 = "I hate you", I want the second instance (and any others if there are more) to be deleted. Is there a simple way to do this, or an established macro? Thanks, Ivan |

How do I remove duplicate fields in excel
Never mind, I figured it out. Using the advanced autofilter system I can
delete duplicate records based on similarities within a column of cells.
