Remove Dupes over 10
Hi,
I have a list of phone numbers and am looking to remove duplicates of any number that appears more than 10 times. I.E. if a number is listed 11 times, the 11th entry will be removed and only 10 will remain.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

in an adjacent column, assuming your data starts in A2, enter formula in B2:
=COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)>10
copied down
Then filter through Data|Filter|Autofilter and filter for TRUE. Then delete those rows, unfilter and delete column B.
