Hi,

I have a column with a set of duplicate values. I need to remove the duplicates while leaving the original data and keeping the blanks. The Remove Duplicates function comprises the data and this does not work for me. Help!

Hi, how do you want to macro it so it deletes them for you, or would a formula suffice?

This formula should do the trick, just copy it into B or whatever column:

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)>1,"",A1)
