How to remove duplicate rows using Excel formulas?
Use the COUNTIF formula
If you want to remove duplicates based on specific criteria, you can use the COUNTIF function to identify and remove them. Here's how:
- In a new column, enter the COUNTIF function for each row in the data you want to deduplicate. For example, if you want to deduplicate based on the values in column A, you might enter "=COUNTIF(A:A, A1)" for the first row, "=COUNTIF(A:A, A2)" for the second row, and so on.
- The COUNTIF function will return a value of 1 for rows that do not have any duplicates and a value greater than 1 for rows that have duplicates.
- Use the filter function to filter out rows with a COUNTIF value greater than 1.
- Delete the filtered rows to remove the duplicates.
Use the SUMPRODUCT function
Using the SUMPRODUCT function is a method for eliminating duplicates based on specific criteria. Here are the steps to follow:
- In a new column, apply the SUMPRODUCT function to each row of the data that you want to deduplicate. For example, if you want to deduplicate based on column A, you can enter "=SUMPRODUCT((A:A=A1)(B:B))" for the first row, "=SUMPRODUCT((A:A=A2)(B:B))" for the second row, and so forth.
- The SUMPRODUCT function will return a value of 0 for rows without duplicates and a value greater than 0 for rows with duplicates.
- Use the filter function to remove rows with a SUMPRODUCT value greater than 0.
- Delete the filtered rows to get rid of the duplicates.
