    Remove duplicates without removing formatting?

    All,
    I have the following line of code in my macro...

    This finds duplicates in columns 1 and 9 and then removes everything in that row, including the formatting. Can this line of code be changed to remove values only but leave shading a boarders? Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hello jfoerch,

    There are no options in this method to keep the formatting. You can use the macro below to do so.

    Wow. There's stuff in there that I've never seen before. I'll give that a try. Is there a way to remove the entire row with the duplicate rather than deleting the cell values and formats?

    Thanks for the reply. I was meaning using my original line of code, can I re-write it to delete the whole row rather that just deleting the cell values and formats? My original line of code works perfect for what I want to do, except I lose the formatting. If I can make the whole duplicate row go away, then I can also achieve my goal.

    Thanks

    Yeah. I understand that now, I can't remove duplicates but still preserve the formatting. But, can I remove duplicates and delete the entire row?
