    Help Requested - Deletion of Duplicate Lines Possible?

    Hello All,

    I have a huge file with many different part numbers (36,000 +). The part numbers are duplicated on multiple rows but each row includes a part number plus unique description information. I.E.:

    .....A...........B.........C..........D...........E

    1 part xx ..................purple........
    2 part xx .................4 inches......
    3 part xx ...............acme brand....

    What I want to do is to delete the duplicate row number but still keep the unique info associated. i.e.:


    .....A.........B.........C..............D.............................E

    1 part xx.............purple, 4 inches, acme brand

    Does anyone have any idea of how I can do this? I have already tried auto-filter and keeping unique records but I loose the "4 inches" and "acme brand" info rows that is vital for my report.


    Any help would be appreciated,
    Thank you!
    -stressed and confused.

    Terry40,

    The following code assumes your data is sorted, the part nr. is in column "A" and the description is in column "B".
    Also the description will accumulate in column "B" and seperated by a " , ".
    Paste to a module.
    When testing do it on a copy.
