My current code is below. The problem is in column 9 I have over 2000 possible different values but I do not want to remove duplicates for rows that contain "VNASTG" in column 9.

Sheets("Data").Range("A4:I300000").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 9), Header:= _
xlYes

This small change should do it I think.

VBA Code:
Sub RemoveDupesWithException_v2()
  With Sheets("Data")
    With .Range("A4", .Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
      .Columns(9).Value = .Worksheet.Evaluate(Replace("if(left(#,3)=""VNA"",[B]#&""||""&ROW(#)[/B],#)", "#", .Columns(9).Address))
      .RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2, 9), Header:=xlYes
      .Columns(9).Replace [B]What:="||*", Replacement:=""[/B], LookAt:=xlPart
    End With
  End With
End Sub
I did not notice the data retention before. I see it now, this solution was crafty!

Excel Facts

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
Works great! How would I possibly add multiple criteria to this? Say there are additional locations I want to exclude as well like a VNASTG2.

Try using "Like"

Rich (BB code):
Sub RemoveDuplicatesExcep()
  Dim dic As Object
  Dim a As Variant, b As Variant, ky As Variant
  Dim i&, j&, k&
 
  a = Range("A5", Range("I" & Rows.Count).End(3)).Value2
  ReDim b(1 To UBound(a, 1), 1 To UBound(a, 2))
  Set dic = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
 
  For i = 1 To UBound(a, 1)
    ky = a(i, 1) & "|" & a(i, 2) & "|" & a(i, 9)
    If a(i, 9) Like "VNA*" Or Not dic.exists(ky) Then
        dic(ky) = Empty
        k = k + 1
        For j = 1 To UBound(a, 2)
          b(k, j) = a(i, j)
        Next
    End If
  Next
 
  Range("A5").Resize(UBound(b, 1), UBound(b, 2)).Value = b
End Sub

Let me know the result and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Sincerely
