How to remove duplicate text with comma seperated
 

This will be a lot faster, but bear in mind it will alter the original
string:

Function ReplaceDupsInCSV(str As String) As String

Dim i As Long

For i = Len(str) - 1 To 1 Step -3
If InStr(1, str, Mid$(str, i, 2)) < i Then
Mid$(str, i, 2) = "--"
End If
Next i

ReplaceDupsInCSV = Replace(str, ",--", vbNullString)

End Function


You could make it a lot faster still if you use one of the Replace functions
