I have a list of names down column D and corresponding vacation days across the row, F through Z. example below
D E F G H I
NameNext day off:Scheduled Vacation Days:
Jane Smith12/1/202012/1/202012/2/202012/4/202012/4/2020
William Jones12/8/202012/8/202012/10/202012/10/202012/23/2020
John Doe1/4/202112/23/202112/24/20211/6/20211/6/2021

I get data from a report, i just copy it over into the last rows, then re-sort the dates in order. this places the dates in order across the row and sometimes it will have dates i already have on my workbook.

I am trying to run a macro across the row to remove duplicates days F through Z. just trying to remove one of the duplicate date across that row.

I found plenty of information on how to remove duplicates from a report but some of the dates maybe a duplicate as two people may have that same day off. i just want to remove duplicate from the row so the date does not show twice under the same person name.

any idea on how i can run this?

here is what i have for sorting the dates:

VBA Code:
Sub SortVacationDays()

Call DeleteOldDates

Dim X, strRow As Integer

Application.ScreenUpdating = False

strRow = 3

'Sort Rows

For X = 1 To 151
strRow = strRow + 1
Sheets("Vacation Days").Select
range(CStr("F" & (strRow) & ":AG" & (strRow))).Select
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Vacation Days").Sort.SortFields.Clear
ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Vacation Days").Sort.SortFields.Add Key:=range(CStr("F" & (strRow) & ":AZ" & (strRow))), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlAscending, DataOption:= _
xlSortNormal
With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Vacation Days").Sort
.SetRange range(CStr("F" & (strRow) & ":AZ" & (strRow)))
.Header = xlGuess
.MatchCase = False
.Orientation = xlLeftToRight
.SortMethod = xlPinYin
.Apply
End With
range(CStr("F" & (strRow))).Select
Next X

Application.ScreenUpdating = True
range("A1").Select

End Sub

How about this? I set the range for A-F for the test data you posted. Just change the line of code to go to Z instead of F if that's where your data ends.

VBA Code:
Sub noDupes()
Dim r As Range: Set r = Range("A2:F" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
Dim AR() As Variant: AR = r.Value2

With CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
    For i = LBound(AR) To UBound(AR)
        For j = 3 To UBound(AR, 2)
            If .contains(AR(i, j)) Then AR(i, j) = vbNullString
            .Add AR(i, j)
        Next j
    Next i
End With

r.Value2 = AR
r.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Delete (xlToLeft)
End Sub

Just realized I missed a line of code.

VBA Code:
Sub noDupes()
Dim r As Range: Set r = Range("A2:F" & Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row)
Dim AR() As Variant: AR = r.Value2

With CreateObject("System.Collections.ArrayList")
    For i = LBound(AR) To UBound(AR)
        For j = 3 To UBound(AR, 2)
            If .contains(AR(i, j)) Then AR(i, j) = vbNullString
            .Add AR(i, j)
        Next j
        .Clear
    Next i
End With

r.Value2 = AR
r.SpecialCells(xlCellTypeBlanks).Delete (xlToLeft)
End Sub
