Excellent Pat - especially shift control and past special value! I was attempting to sort with the formula still there and it was completely screwed up. your solution worked perfect. thank you. big thumbs up
This was SOOOO helpful! My 2008 MAC Excel didn't like 4 values being tested for duplicates, I tried with 3 and it worked. I also had to copy and paste my data from a downloaded data sheet because it wouldn't show the result of the formula. So I copied and pasted values only. Then it all worked x
what if I want to find duplicate addresses and remove them but some of them have different names, like spouses with the same address and just leave one spouce connected to that address
Your method will delete important information if the list contains more than one duplicate, if you have three or more equal lines your method will delete all you will not keep the "not duplicate" line. What you need to find is how to delete only the duplicated values without shifting the cells in a column.
You can highlight or delete duplicated or identical rows easily using Dose for Excel Add-In which provides more than +100 Features, check their website in below: www.zbrainsoft.com/excel-delete-rows.html
Regarding my previous comment, you can confirm that your method is wrong and dangerous when in a list you have data duplicated three times or more, because using your method in your list that originally contained the name of "Combs, Earle" since you have it listed three times it will not be shown after your procedure, it will be completely removed from your list not only the duplicate values in lines or rows. You are near but not "there" with the solution.
The delete duplicate button does not take into factor everything else in the table. This feature allows to maneuver around dozens of columns and remove duplicates without unorganizing.
Incorrect method. For example, let you have three records (csv) Alex,USA,..... Alex,Canada,.... Alex,USA,..... If you sort by name only, this order will be not changed. In this case algorithm not catch equal 1 and 3 lines.
I've been searching high and low for this specific feature and you are the only one who has given a solid answer. Thanks a ton!
Thank you!!!! Got a spreadsheet with 7,000 addresses and this was IMMENSELY helpful!!!! No telling how much you saved us on postage.
You might wanna pay it forward - Keep Excelling!

I got a doubt...what if C2 is not equal to C3
thanks , this is really helpful and great
Thanks, Ted! :)
Good Video for duplicates only. If there are 3 of the same cells it breaks the whole thing.
Thank you Ted

What about your cousin or aunt? How many hours do you reckon its gonna save your generation?
@@tableau179... bro it's been three years wtf?
thanks sir
There is a delete duplicate button that does this for you in excel 2016
The delete duplicate button does not take into factor everything else in the table. This feature allows to maneuver around dozens of columns and remove duplicates without unorganizing.
Incorrect method. For example, let you have three records (csv)
Alex,USA,.....
Alex,Canada,....
Alex,USA,.....
If you sort by name only, this order will be not changed. In this case algorithm not catch equal 1 and 3 lines.
NOT DELETE..... How to duplicate rows..... so frustrating when you get a video that deals with the OPPOSITE of what you searched for.
Feel your pain bro - need to write to UA-cam to improve their algorithm ;-)
I also found it worked better for my data to use
=if(OR(A1=A2,OR(A2=A3)),"duplicate","not duplicate")
If it were not arranged alphabetically how would we have done it?
