    Removing Almost Dupes but keeping Higher Value

    A Dj friend of mine at a radio station asked me several months ago to create a excel file of the uk chart history, i have now done this.

    But i now need some help...if anyone can i will appreciate it


    I Have 5 columns A,B,C,D,E

    Column A Is Chart Position
    Column B Is Artist
    Column C Is Track Title
    Column D Is Record Label
    Column E Is Record Lable Cat Number


    I Typed each and every chart in week by week so now i have many entries which are the same but different chart positions

    for example

    Column Set out like this etc

    A-B-C-D-E

    41 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037
    34 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037
    30 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037
    26 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037
    25 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037
    32 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037
    52 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037


    Now i need to find the the highest chart position of all of the songs etc and delete the rest

    so from above

    25 Abba Head Over Heels Epic EPC A 2037


    because 25 is the highest chart position(closer to number 1).

    However because sometimes a song can be re-released at a later date and usually with a different Record Label Cat Number (Column E) i only need to delete those dupes that are the same cat number leaving any different cat numbers etc.


    Thanks
