How do you take out the duplicates from a long list of data?

Thank you

RE: Take out duplicates

Hi Michelle

Thanks for the post - sorry for the late reply

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.

this should do the trick Merry Christmas

Excel tip:

Shortcut for deleting all comments in a spreadsheet

If you have entered multiple comments into a spreadsheet and wish to delete them all at once, you can achieve this by:

1. Holding down Ctrl, then Shift, then O - this will select all cells containing comments in the worksheet you are looking at.

2. Right-clicking on one of the selected cells, and selecting Delete Comment from the menu that appears.

3. Clicking anywhere else in the spreadsheet to deselect comments - all comments should have disappeared from the spreadsheet.
