Hello.

I'm sure the answer I need is here somewhere, but I can't find it...

I need to compare 2 spreadsheets of data and get rid of the duplicate entries. The spreadsheets contain personal data of clients: address, phone#, SSN, etc...

How can I compare SSNs between the two sheets and weed out the duplicates?

Many thanks in advance.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
In the first file use the match function to locate like SSN in the second file. Match will return a number if the SSN exist and NA# if it doesn't. You can then use filters to display the numbers (does not equal NA#) then delete these rows.
