    Question need to remove duplicates in rows that take up two columns

    Ok here it is: I have data set up in the following format:

    item number, sales date, price, sales date2, price2, sales date3, price3

    the problem that I have is that sales date2 and price2 are the same as sales date3 and price3.

    if any of the sales dates and sales prices match I need to erase one of them. (ONLY if both the date and the price match)

    Thanks,
    Z

    Hi,

    You could use a helper column to flag the matches, then sort and delete the matches

    =IF(AND(D2=F2,E2=G2),"Dates/Prices Match","")
