Delete duplicates but keep rows

[gmozzer]

Hi,

Apologies if already answered I can't figure out how or if this can be done a bit easier than I already am doing. I have found some vb code but the code I have I would need to do each column. So my problem is I need to delete duplicates in a table but keep the rows, to explain/show better below are screenshots of what I mean -

The table I have -

And I need it to look like below -

As you can see I need to keep rows in column D that are all unique values whilst deleting/clearing the adjacent cells and keeping the top row of each unique row of data, if that makes sense.

Thanks.

Will you please attach a SMALL sample Excel workbook (10-20 rows of data is usually enough)? Please don't attach a picture of one (no-one will want to re-type all your stuff before starting).

1. Make sure that your sample data are truly REPRESENTATIVE of your real data. The use of unrepresentative data is very frustrating and can lead to long delays in reaching a solution.

2. Make sure that your desired solution is also shown (mock up the results manually).

3. Make sure that all confidential information is removed first!!

4. Try to avoid using merged cells. They cause lots of problems!

Unfortunately the attachment icon doesn't work at the moment. So, to attach an Excel file you have to do the following: Just before posting, scroll down to Go Advanced and then scroll down to Manage Attachments. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

Ok no problem, I have attached the spreadsheets

A few formulae (each shade = different formula, copied down or across/down):

=IF(Sheet1!A2="","",IF(COUNTIF(Sheet1!A$2:A2,Sheet1!A2)>1,"",Sheet1!A2))

=IF($A2="","",Sheet1!B2)

and so on

Cheers for that, worked a treat!
