使用或不使用VBA删除Excel中的重复项

Question

Chart Example

Hello All,

I am looking for some help in cleaning up an organizational chart that I have in excel. Right now, there are many duplicates as the linked picture shows. I need to remove all the duplicates, and shift the unique values over into the blank spaces

(ie, Bill G, Bill G, Fred K, Fred K, Joe X ---> Bill G, Fred K, Joe X).

I have been trying to get it done using Excel Formulas ( =IF(A1=B1, B1, A1) ), but it does not repeat correctly across the Sheet, especially because the different rows have varying numbers of occupied columns.

I'd appreciate any help that I can get. Thank you!

Answer 1

No need for VBA. Use Data , Advanced filter , choose Copy to another location and check Unique records only

Answer 2

选择您的范围转到“数据”选项卡在“数据工具”窗格中，选择“删除重复项”

first a formula to bring unique only. the formula display duplicates as 0 .

then while still selecting the formula range, open the "go to special" dialog box

select Formulas > Numbers

all formula output zeros will be selected

press `Ctrl + minus(-) to delete cells, select "shift cells left"

end result
