    Combine duplicate rows with unique values

    Hi,
    I have a lot of data with same values and some blank cells. Please note that if duplicate rows are there, they contain only unique values. There are no duplicate rows with different values in same column cell. It's either same value or blank. There is no different value. Kindly view the sample file if you feel I'm not explaining well.
    I've got it working with a macro, not quite right...
    I searched everywhere and all I found was combining values those unique values into one cell like A,A.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Re: Combine duplicate rows with unique values

    Hi,
    Thank you so much for your help.
    Update:
    I tested with three sets of data. The second row in the "before" goes to the first row and then also in the third row as a duplicate with same before value (It didn't work only on the second row). All the other rows are consolidated as exactly as needed.

    The before is:

    XXX
    YYY A
    ZZZ
    AAA
    BBB
    YYY A B

    After is:

    YYY A
    XXX
    YYY A B

    Also how to replace it in the same rows instead of J1?

    Re: Combine duplicate rows with unique values

    This is working perfectly! But it is happening right in front of my eyes with a blue waiting symbol and long depending on the data.
    Is there anyway to run it in the background?

    You need to specify which code you are referring to. @JLGWhiz or @xladept

    Re: Combine duplicate rows with unique values

    Hi,
    This is working. Thank you for the help.
    First two rows have duplicate after running macro, I am deleting manually. But its way better than not having anything. I do not know why.

    @xladept
    Hi,
    I changed it like this and it worked:

    Please Login or Register  to view this content.
    W1 is the column after last data column (the first duplicate got pasted to J1). I changed to A2 & s=1 as first two rows are the only duplicates.
    I verified the data randomly and there is no error anywhere...
    Thank you so much for your kind help, effort and time.

    This worked beautifully. Is there anyway to have the result in the same sheet?
