    Duplication remove with criteria

    Hello follow forumers!!!

    I need some help!! I am probably overthinking this and that is why I can't figure our how to either create the necessary formula or VBA coding to achieve my desired output, but think VBA is probably going to give me the final output I really want. So here is the deal...I have a data set that contains duplicate records. I could have an asset that has 2 or more records of data within this data set. It could be an OEM repair or an In House repair. I want to search row by row through each duplicate and if the oldest record has a repair type of In House repair, then delete that record and move on to the next record in the data set.

    I have attached the data set I am working with...any ideas would be extremely helpful!!!!

    Insert two new columns at column A, so that your dates are in C and you have a blank column A and B.

    In A2, array-enter (enter using Ctrl-Shift-Enter instead of just Enter) the formula

    =MIN(IF(G:G=G2,C:C))

    Then in B2, enter the formula

    =IF(C2=A2,IF(D2="In House Repair","Delete",""),"")

    Copy A2:B2 down to match your data table, and re-calc (Ctrl-Alt-F9)

    Then filter to show "Delete" in column B, and delete all the rows where B = "Delete". And then remove the filters, delete column A and B, and you're done.

    That does not appear to be calculating all of the data criteria correctly. I am still seeing records that should be marked as "Delete" but are blank. Something is off and I can't figure out what or how to fix it.

    If you have values in G that have extra spaces or slight misspellings, then that could cause an issue. If you have a small set of data that the formula is not working correctly with, post it.
