Is there an easy way of deleting rows where the data in columns A, B and C are identical?
I would do this manually but there are thousands of rows.

Notice in the table above that there are duplicates for both the IMC3000 and IMC4500. I would need to remove a total of 4 rows and be left with 1 row for the IMC3000 and one row for the IMC4500. The table we are looking at is columns A, B and C.

Have a look at the remove duplicates feature on the Data tab.

Now I feel rather stupid. I should have thought there maybe the Remove Duplicate feature would compare multiple columns simultaneously. Thanks for pointing this out Fluff
