Delete Duplicate Rows Based on Matching Cells

Hello,

 

I would like to request a function to be added to the Rows menu to delete duplicate rows based on a matching cell except for the first (or selected) one. Currently, one has to first select matching cells, unselect the first occurence, and then delete the remaining. In a large dataset with several unique sets of duplicates, this can be extremely cumbersome.

 

Thanks and regards

Hi @MShroff there is a "select duplicate rows" option that operates on selected columns. Does this help?

Not quite - the process to select and delete duplicate rows (esp. when there are multiple sets of duplicates) is quite cumbersome.
