Is there a formula that can be used in a helper column to help me decide which duplicate to keep and which to delete? Below is what I am trying to do
Column A Column B
Company A Status 1
Company A Status 2
Company B Status 1
Company C Status 1
Company C Status 2
Company C Status 3
Company C Status 4
Company D Status 2
Company E Status 1
Company E Status 2
So if there is no duplicate in column A, I want to keep that row, but if there is a duplicate in column A I want to keep status 1 and delete the row with status 2. There is a hierarchy of statuses to keep first. Please note this is not real data. The real data is not in any numerical or alphabetical order otherwise I would sort and remove duplicates.
Example hierarchy:
Status 1
Status 2
Status 3
Status 4
Thank you very much!
