    Question how to remove duplicates by "person", not by entire column

    How do I remove duplicates "PER PERSON" and not for the whole sheet. Example, each person has duplicate values of apple, but I only want to have one of name of each person containing apple.

    Thank you!

    *I know about the remove duplicates option in excel but I believe it will remove all dup's from the sheet and only leaving joe apple, which is not what I want to do.
