How do I remove duplications.

Hi,

Which function do I use to remove duplications?

Example: in Column A I have a list that is 2,000 entries
long and there are entries that contain the same user name.

Either run Advanced Filter with Unique records only checked or apply an
efficient formula sytem.

Hi

The best is to avoid unwanted duplicates at all. You can use data validation
for this.

When you have the mess already, add into some free column on row 2 (row1 is
header) the formula:
=SUMIF(A$2:A2,A2)
and copy down.

Now set autofilter on, and set filter for created column to custom: Is
greater than 1
Delete filtered entries.
