    Re: Unique order ID

    On the Data Ribbon, there is a Remove Duplicates icon. You could copy the list with duplicate data to another place in your workbook, then use the Remove Duplicated tool.

    Please remember, your request is clearer if you attach a sample workbook.

    welcome to the forum, sjowie. just the list & without figures or any other info? go to Data-> Remove Duplicates. Check the option that "My data has headers". Check only the column that determines it's a duplicate

    if you wish to use formulas, go to my link where i have "Tips & Tutorials I Compiled". under sheet number 2, i shared & explained how to use it

    or if you are hoping to have some figures, read about how you can use Pivot Tables

    Thanks, if you have clicked on the * and added our rep.

    Re: Unique order ID

    Hi,

    to remove duplicate values, you could easily use the Remove Duplicates command in the Data Tools Group on the Data tab.

    Hope it helps

    edit: sorry Benishiryo, same answer
