RE: Deduping data
Hi Liz,
Thank you for your question.
There is no specific way of doing this in Excel 2003. However there is a method using Autofilter that you could try.
I have included a hyperlink to a Microsoft site explaining the Autofilter method:

There are also formulas you can try such as:
=IF(AND(B3=B4,C3=C4),"delete","don't delete")
Here is a link to some other formulas you could try:

I hope this answers your question.
