    Removing Duplicates VBA Not Optimized

    Hello, new to Macros here. I have a simple spreadsheet of contacts with column headers such as name, email, company, etc.

    I am trying to write a simple script that will look for duplicate email addresses (which are in column 3) and delete one of the duplicate rows. My code seems to work, but I need to run it like 5x to fully clean the list for some reason. It should be able to remove all duplicates in one run. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    You have to remove rows from bottom to top. You can also remove duplicates like this

    Only works if the data starts in A1 and the email address is in column C. Otherwise just post the file.

    Hello Superchew,

    You can do it with 1 line of code. Change the range and columns to suit:
