My spreadsheet data look like this:

A B C D E F G
H
hlduniq Sclname StuLast Stufirst house# StrNam City Zip
99 BldgA Black John 100 Second Detroit 48330
100 BldgA Smith Jane 133 Main Detroit 48332
100 BldgB Smith John 133 Main Detroit 48332
101 BldgA Doe Jane 1001 First Detroit 48331
102 BldgB Doe John 1001 First Detroit 48332

What I would like the code to do is to return just the two rows (the Doe's
on the bottom) that the house number and the first three digits of the
street
name are the same, but the household unique ID differs. In my system,
this
is a duplicate address that needs to be amended to one house unique. I
just
need a way to not have to manually look through 10,000 records by hand.
Can
this be done? Can you help?


yes it can be done. look in the Excel VBA help system to learn how to write
a VBA macro.
use cell.value() and iterate through the cells that you mbneed to cover.
