I have a sheet with many rows and i need to filter out old versions of the
row in questions,

example

Mr Smith blah blah aaa bbbb cccc 1
Mr Smith blah blah bbb ccccc 2
Mr Smith aaa bbbb ccc 3

In other words each row is a version on what ever im looking at, How do i
get rid of the old versions i.e. number 1 and number 2 and keep version 3 ??

Hope this explains it ok

regards

In an adjacent column, and assuming that the name is in column A, version in
F, add this formula

=F1=MAX(IF($A$1:$A$1000=A1,$F$1:$F$1000))

it is an array formula, so commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter.

Copy the formula down for all relevant rows.

Filter Column F (DataFilterAutofilter), select a value of False, then
delete visible rows.

Got it. Put this formula in some spare column, say G3

=D3=MAX(IF($A$3:$A$1000=A3,$D$3:$D$1000))

then as before, copy the formula down for all relevant rows.

Filter Column F (DataFilterAutofilter), click the dropdown arrow, select
the value of False, then delete visible rows.
