Hi,
I've got an excel spreadsheet full of data that I have compiled from 3 other spreadsheets. A lot of the data in these spreadsheets are present in all 3, so now the one large file I have contains duplications of certain lines.
Is there anyway to run some sort ot batch process or script that will remove any extra instances of every row of data other than the first occurance of the data in that row?
Thanks in advance! :)
 
Highlight the columns, go to data->filter->advanced filter -> tick "unique records only" then with filter inplace or copy to a new location. then you done

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
