Macro to delete duplicate cell
 

I have a large spreadsheet that I need to clean up. My data is kept by row,
so some rows have the same information in two adjacent cells. An example is
below in rows 2 through 5.

1 DB A HF SR SCR PI
2 SAW DB SR DR DB DB
3 SAW DB SR DR DB DB
4 SAW DB SR DR DB DB
5 SAW DB SR DR DB DB

Is there a macro that can automatically delete the 2nd duplicate cell
entirely so that the remaining cells will shift to the left? I can delete
them manually one at a time and shift the remaining cells left, but I'd like
to be able to clean up the entire sheet at once.

Macro to delete duplicate cell
 

Hi Greetings!!

Please try the below code to clean up consecutive duplicate rows. Please
adjust the Function incase you have more number of columns.

Dim intRow
Dim strData

intRow = 2

Do while Range("A" & intRow) < ""

If GetRowDatatoString(intRow-1) = GetRowDatatoString(intRow) Then
Rows(intRow).Entirerow.Delete
intRow = intRow -1
End If

intRow = intRow + 1
Loop

Function GetRowDatatoString(intRow)
GetRowDatatoString = Range("A" & intRow) & Range("B" & intRow) & Range("C"
& intRow) & Range("D" & intRow) & Range("E" & intRow)
End Function
