Default Removing Duplcate Names

Hello,

I have a spreadsheet that contains just over 7,000 rows;
this spreadsheet contains an account number and all the
people attached to that account including the role they
play on the account. For example; Acct # 123456 can belong
to a company who is the Tax Owner but the account can also
have additional people attached to it who may have
multilpe roles such as Trustee, Non-Tax Signor, Guantor,
etc... The company and people can and most often do have
different addresses. I need to do a mailing using this
spreadsheet but since the account can have
companies/people with many roles I end up with multiple
rows containing the same account numbers, names, and
addresses but the role on the account will make each row
unique because the roles are different. I need help in
creating a formula or VBA code that will remove any
uneeded rows leaving only a single entry for each name and
address. If I had this:
Acct Name Addr Role
123 XYZ Co. 123 Main St. Anytown NJ TaxOwner
123 John Doe 111 This St Thattown NJ Guantor
123 John Doe 111 This St Thattown NJ Trustee
123 Bob Jones 456 6th Ave Histown NJ Trustee
123 Bob Jones 456 6th Ave Histown NJ Guantor

How can I end up with this?:
Acct Name Addr Role
123 XYZ Co. 123 Main St. Anytown NJ Tax Owner
123 John Doe 111 This St Thattown NJ Guantor
123 Bob Jones 456 6th Ave Histown NJ Guantor

I don't care which role remains, I ony care about making
sure that I have 1 entry for each name and address
attached to each account. I appreciate your reading this
long post and any help or suggestions that are provided.

Thank you,
Dave Y
