ExcelBanter - Autofilter Special

Let's back it up a bit and understand carefully what's happening ..

For easy reference, I attach a link to a sample showing your posted data
with the earlier expression that I gave you implemented:

Flagging Duplicates.xls

In the sample, the unique items are defined based on the fields in cols A to
C (that's what I gathered you specified earlier in your original thread). The
formula in D2**, copied down will flag uniques as FALSE, duplicates as TRUE.
Note that the source data need not be sorted for the flagging to work.

**In D2, copied down:
=IF(COUNTA(A2:C2)<3,"",SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A2=A2)*(B$2 :B2=B2)*(C$2:C2=C2))1)

To reconfirm our understanding:
Uniques = 1st occurrence (FALSE)
Duplicates = 2nd occurrence onwards (TRUE)

And, any source lines with incomplete data for flagging (there must be data
in all 3 cols A to C) will return as blanks: "". This precaution is taken
care of by the front IF part in the expression: IF(COUNTA(A2:C2)<3,"",...

we are attaching a file which we want to filer out the 1 true after false

EGmr 01-DafHaY R Mos M Weiss TRUE
EGmr 01-DafHaY R Mos M Weiss TRUE
EGmr 01-DafHaY R Mos M Weiss TRUE
EGmr 01-DafHaY R Mos M Weiss TRUE
EGmr 01-DafHaY R Mos M Weiss FALSE
EGmr 01-DafHaY R Mos Gold TRUE

look were the false & true comes up when we filter we need the new name row
not all the true's only the first true after false

We need to autofilter & Copy only records that contain "true" after false
not all the "true" records?
also limit the cells to information not to 65000 etc
