If the rows are EXACT duplicates, you can remove them by using an Advanced Filter. Highlight all the data, go to the Data Menu and choose Filter>Advanced Filter. Select to move it to a new location and put a check in Unique values only. This will remove EXACT duplicates.

Good evening, I would like to know if it is possible to eliminate automatically duplicate entries in an XL database (let's say I have X lines and Y columns and I would like to eliminate all lines that have exactly identical data in all columns). ? Thanks in advance for any advice.
