I am not worrying about finding the duplicate value as much anymore. I’ve made a way to uniquely identify each cell I need to delete. But once I have those cells selected in that one column, is it possible to delete the corresponding value on the column next to it with the selected cell? I’d do it manually, but there are thousands…
I also have the data in a db, if there is a sql query that could do it better…
Yes, there’s a tool for that in the Data tab called “Remove Duplicates”. (link)
Without using that tool, you can try the following formula:
Put it in D1 for example, and paste it down on every line. It will count the occurrences of a given value in row A; it will display “1” for the first occurrence, “2” for the second. You can then filter the list and delete only the lines with a “2”.
