Excel help I have a list of mailing names and addresses in excel and some of them are duplicates, is there are way of picking these out automatically and deleting them, without having to go through the sheet!!
Have a quick look at http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplicat.htm There's also add-ins that can do it - but finding a free one...
hmm...good question. I got pretty swarve with Excel this summer, impressed my boss by doing something that he said would "take the best part of a week" in just over an hour.....obviously never heard of lookups As for a built in Excel function, i'm not too sure to be honest Is it a large document? Try just sorting it by email address and remove the duplicate records.
There's no built-in function - usually you use a macro. Sorting it is a good point tho, unless it's reaaaaallllly large.
Or if you cant use sleepy's, use the ones in http://www.cpearson.com/excel/duplicat.htm - the conditional formatting one's are easy...
