    Copy Rows - Ignore duplicates

    Hi there,

    I've created a macro which will send all rows from a worksheet to another worksheet in a different workbook. Currently it will send everything from column A - Column U until there's an empty row.

    I was wondering if there is a way to skip duplicate rows. So for example if the cells in row A2:U2 matched a row in the second workbook, it would skip sending that row!

    Below is the code I'm using, and I've attached an example spreadsheet to give a clearer view of what I'm trying to achieve.

    Thanks for any help in advance

    Would it not be easier to just append the data and then remove duplicates?

    I agree with Winon. You can add the data in and if there is a unique field or combination of fields, we can delete the duplicates. Its far easier and faster than checking if its duplicate and then copying.
