#3 REMOVE DUPLICATES
To remove duplicates from a list, we can use the “”Remove Duplicates”” dialog. To do this, first select the area to be checked for duplicates. Then select Data -> Remove Duplicates. In the dialog you have to decide which columns should be checked for duplicates, you can also check several columns in combination, e.g. first name and last name. If duplicates are found, this will be indicated in the notification box accordingly. The duplicates will be removed in the selected area.
