Excel 2010 Removing duplicates
I am trying to remove the duplicates items from a big Excel sheet.
I would like to remove all rows that have a duplicate code values (sample below)
Before:
Name Code
item_01 xxxx01
item_02 xxxx02
item_03 xxxx01
item_01 xxxx03
item_04 xxxx04
After:
Name Code
item_01 xxxx01
item_02 xxxx02
item_01 xxxx03
item_04 xxxx04
I have played with the "Remove Duplicates" features, but I can't get the result that I want.
Any help?
Thanks
Solution 1:
You've not explained "the result that I want", but I will take a shot at this.
When you select both columns then click Remove Duplicates
from the Data ribbon, the below dialog window opens. Remove the check box from the column you DO NOT want the duplicates removed and then click OK
.
It results in the example you gave above.
