Deleting Duplicates

When trying to delete around 300,000 duplicate cells (which definitely include duplicates) I am getting the message 'No duplicates found' do you know why this would be happening? is it due to volume? Thanks

RE: Deleting Duplicates

Hi Joanne,

Thank you for the forum question.

It is not the number of duplicates which are the problem. I just tested removing 700.000 duplicates.

Do you compare all the columns or is it based on a part of the columns?

Kind regards
