    Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    Hi all,

    I'm trying to create a macro that runs through data sets and removes duplicate entries. I have been sucessful with removing single entries but I can't figure out how to compare ranges and remove those that are the same. I have attached a file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    1. Are the "ranges" always in the same places on the sheet ?
    2. Is the order of entries in the "ranges" (to be compared) always the same ?

    The ranges will be in the same place. The order of the ranges may change. If possible I only want exact duplicates to be removed.

    so .. Is the order of entries (Bananas, Pears, Apples, etc.) in the ranges always the same ?

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    Sorry. I mistyped. I meant that the order of entries may change. I just want the macro to remove completely identical ranges of data, not ones that are in a different order.

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    How big/large will the individual (compared) ranges be, how many rows ?

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    I would say a maximum of 20.

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    Thanks. That works really well. How could I change the results destination here? Say for example further down?

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    Is there any way I could get the tables to display vertically rather than horizontally?

    Re: Removing Duplicate Data Sets

    Probably 'yes' - show an example of data layout after transposition.

    Different method used.
    Eliminate the duplicate when both column A & B are identical.
