Delete duplicate rows
Hi. I’ve got this...
90312966 MRS LEE JONES 21 FORE STREET REDRUTH 90312968 MISS RACHEL GOLDING FLAT 3 OLD PLACE ALMA PLACE 90312979 Miss Lily Pascoe The Cottage the lizard 90312984 mr david carr pitch 02 mullion holiday park 90312984 MR DAVID CARR PITCH 02 MULLION HOLIDAY PARK RUAN MINOR 90312984 MR DAVID CARR PITCH 02 MULLION HOLIDAY PARK RUAN MINOR 90312991 MISS Nerys Hughes 7 POLDARK VIEW CARHARRACK 90312991 MISS Nerys Hughes 7 POLDARK VIEW CARHARRACK 90312992 MR ADRIAN TREWERN FLAT VOGUE YARD GEW TERRACE .... and there are further address columns to the right. Also, the same number+person+address might appear more than twice. I want a macro that will look at the number in col A and delete all the rows above it with the same number, so that I am left with only the last row for each person. |

A different way to do this would be -
1. Sort the data in excel in Ascending order using Data-Sort menu in excel. 2. Once you are done, enter the following formula in the cell adjacent to the data .i.e. if your data is on columns A,B & C then use column D and enter this formula in it. =IF(A1=A2,1,0). This would indicate the duplicate rows with the value '1' in it. 3. Apply a filter, using Data - Filter and filter all rows with value '1' in column D. 4. Delete this data and you would be left with the unique data you need. Lemme know if this works, its a 4 step process but you dont have to mess around with a macro!

As to the use of the Shift key...
I thought you were referring to the XL Companion add-in of mine that I included in the list of possible solutions.

Tried that - even though they're sorted DEscending, it still takes out the latest lines and I'm left with the first!! It's a b****r, innit? :) |
