Merging duplicate entries in Excel or deleting the duplicates (Exc
My colleagues have taken over an exisiting business that lacked organization
& leadership. There were numerous client lists which have been merged onto an Excel sheet. The dilemma now is that there are multiple duplicates of the clients on the Excel sheet. They would like to know the easiest and most time effecient way to delete the duplicates or merge them together so that the client list has all pertinent info. For example, this is what their client list may look like currently: No. Client Address Phone 1. Joe Schmoe 122 Ocean Ave., Newport Beach, CA 92660 (949)888-1111 2. Joe Ocean Ave. Newport Beach (949)888-1111 3. Joe Schmoe 122 Ocean Ave., Newport Beach 92660 4. Jenny B. Sunset St., Tustin, CA 5. Jenny Brown 3 Sunset St. Tustin 92626 (714)888-1111 6. Jenny Brown 3 Sunset St. Tustin, CA 92626 (714)888-1111 FYI: They have attempted implementing Access but it still brought up the duplicates. There has to be an easier way than manually deleting each duplicate and keeping only the one(s) they need. If possible, try to use "laymans" terms as I myself am not savvy w/Excel (just helping some friends). Thanks! |
