Duplicate entries

How can I delete duplicate entries in Excel. For example, when several rows contain exactly the same information, how do I get Excel to pick that up and automatically delete them?

RE: Duplicate entries

Hi Michael

Thanks for the post

Select all the rows, including the column headers, in the list you want to filter.

On the Data menu, point to Filter, and then click Advanced Filter.
In the Advanced Filter dialog box, click Filter the list, in place.
Select the Unique records only check box, and then click OK.
The filtered list is displayed and the duplicate rows are hidden.

To Remove this go to the Data menu, point to Filter, and then click Show All. The original list is re-displayed.

Excel tip:

Shortcuts for working with named ranges in Excel

If you are working with or creating named ranges in your spreadsheets, then you may find the following shortcut keys useful.

- Bring up the Define Names dialogue box on screen by using Ctrl + F3 (instead of going to Insert - Names).

- Create Names from labels you have entered into the spreadsheet by highlighting the labels and related figures, then hold down Shift + Ctrl + F3. You can then choose to create names from the top or bottom rows, or left or right columns.

- Go directly to a named range by hitting the F5 key. The Go To dialogue box will open and display any named ranges in the spreadsheet. Simply select the named range to navigate to it in the spreadsheet.
