    Removing duplicates

    Hi


    Within my spreadsheet i have a column of data that changes in size every day. This column of data often includes repeated information that I dont need...

    What i am looking for is a way to look at the column of data containing the duplicates and in another sheet paste the refined column...

    So if you look below

    personnel_id results required
    test1 test1
    test1 test2
    test1 test3
    test2 test4
    test2 test5
    test3 test6
    test4
    test4
    test4
    test4
    test4
    test5
    test5
    test6
    test6
    test6
    test6


    Any suggestions on how to achieve this would be great...


    Thanks

    Nuno

    first idea

    I just finished a more or less the same job.
    I tried two approaches but finally I used the easied one.

    1. FIRST SOLUTION.
    Place the worksheet function to determine the double entries. The COUNTIF takes a cell value and look if this appears in a range. If there is 1 or more appearance he set D (Duplicate) in a Column.

    With a short IIF you delete the D's for example.

    2. SECOND SOLUTION :
    A complete sub or function dat delete every double without writing the COUNTIF function to you sheet.

    If you want some more explanation or feedback or code, ask ....
