    Remove duplicates but combine information into one row?

    I want to remove duplicate names, but fill incomplete information into one complete row. For example

    Column A
    First Name

    Column B
    Last Name

    Column C
    Address

    Column D
    Phone Number

    My cells have something like:

    John Doe 1234 S Chicago
    John Doe 333-333-3333

    I want one row to say

    John Doe 1234 S Chicago 333-333-3333


    I have a large set of data with duplicate persons, but with missing information from their rows. I want to merge it all into one complete row. Any ideas?

    Thanks!

    Dan

    Hello and welcome to the forum,

    A VBA solution might work....

    Do you have the same number of rows for each persons?
    Can you provide a workbook with sample data.

    Hi Dan1027,

    Please try the following macro. It loops thru all names in 1A tab and store information for each of them in a dictionary, the output the result to 1B tab
