    Remove duplicate rows

    How do I go about removing duplicate rows from a sheet? I know how to search a column and remove the row if duplicates are found in a column, but how about looping through all rows, comparing all data on a row level rather than cell level, and removing rows that are exactly the same so only 1 instance of each is left? I can probably figure it out myself if someone can just steer me in the right direction with regards to the proper tools/logic to use. Thanks for looking!

    Re: Remove duplicate rows

    make one cell and add all info of all columns in it.

    e.g. e1=a1&b1&c1&d1

    Then use remove duplicate in the excel 2007 version on column E.

    excel 2007 => data => remove duplicate.
    Notice my main language is not English.

    I appreciate it, if you reply on my solution.

    If you check remove duplicate option..
    There's was option via check Box to mark which column need to check..
    Check all columns to remove duplicate if all columns in a same row are same with other row..
