multiple rows need distinct value and adjacent row
Hi, I'm new to the power of excel and need to compare a row of data to find
its unique value and keep it with the adjacent row. Here is what I have: Feature DID 7775552323 7775332121 7775552323 7775332121 5556385698 5552229822 4445289639 4442229822 8884561289 7775339822 I need to find the unique value in the Feature column and keep the adjacent DID column data...is this possible? And could you try and explain it simply? |

Tell us what YOU think the results should be in the examples you've given.
That will help us understand what you are trying to do. I suggest you re-post as a new question. -- Hope this helps. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Oops, sorry about that.
I would expect to see: Feature DID 7775552323 7775332121 5556385698 5552229822 4445289639 4442229822 8884561289 7775339822 the duplicate entry of 7775552323 has been eliminated, and the second column DID stayed with 7775552323. -- Respectfully, VoicQn "Gary Brown" wrote: Tell us what YOU think the results should be in the examples you've given.

multiple rows need distinct value and adjacent row
A couple of different ways come to mind.
I would create a column of unique 'Feature' values and then use a vlookup to a capture the 'DID' for each 'Feature'. Assume 'Feature' is in Col A and 'DID' is in Col B. From the top menu (assuming Excel 2003 or lower), select... Data Filter Advanced Filter Action: Copy to another location List Range: Highlight Col A Check 'Unique Records Only' Copy to: Select Cell D1 Select 'OK' Assuming the description 'Feature' is now in Cell D1... In Cell E1, put the description 'DID' In Cell E2, enter the vlookup formula... =VLOOKUP(D2,A:B,2,FALSE) Copy this formula down. -- Hope this helps. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
