Remove duplicate entries

I have a sales report that comes in everyday that I use to see how many inquiries were requested for that day. Sometimes there inquiries have 2 products going to the same vessel, which show up as 2 line items in the report but they are one deal total. I want to be able to filter out/remove the lines that are "duplicates" by say comparing say the ship name with the counterparty and if it finds it more than once in the report then it only counts it as one.

What I have been doing is using a pivot table that adds up everything and then going through the report to subtract out the ships with mutliple products to get my total # of inquiries for the day. I still would like all the information on my product pivot but for total inquiries I need to find a way to filter those ships with multiple products.
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
On the data ribbon there is a remove duplicates button. You will probably want to deslect all and then select the 2 criteria you want to remove duplicates based on. See if that does what you want?

Hope that helps.
