In that file, you can see there is a list of somewhat similar dat
across 5 columns. Some of the entries are duplicates, some are differen
by only one character. What I want to be able to do is generate a lis
of all the unique rows of data, taking into account the data from ALL
columns. The list can be on another sheet or simply just further down o
the same sheet, that doesn't matter too much.

I could do it if it were just one column of data, but struggling tryin
to do it with several columns

On the Data Ribbon / Data Tools tab there is a "Remove Duplicates" option which can select all the columns.
