hi,
my name is ian and i'm new the forum. i use excel 2007.
i'm trying to remove duplicates from a worksheet containing customer contact info. the sheet has 9 columns with headings, and the duplicates appear in the last name and phone number column. (the sheet contains no outlines/groups/subtotals.)
i want to remove entries that contain the same last name AND phone number, however when i go to DATA>DATA TOOLS>REMOVE DUPLICATES, and specify the columns i want to remove duplicates from, it keeps deleting an entry that has the same last name, but not the same phone number.
i even tried removing duplicates from only the phone number column, and it still removes the phone number for the entry that has a duplicated last name, even though the phone numbers are different.
please help.
thanks very much!
