Good afternoon:

I have 10,000 rows of data and I want to search for duplicate rows but I don't know how to.

Sample spreadsheet:


DateClaim NumberPatient NameCodePatient ID NumberDate Bill SubmittedAmount BilledAmount Paid
10/1/2014156161John Doe99213A61565110/5/2014$700.00$500.00
10/8/2015165511Sam Jones99214B62566310/15/2015$800.00$200.00
10/1/2014156161John Doe99213A61565110/5/2014$700.00$500.00
<colgroup><col width="98" style="width: 74pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3584;"> <col width="144" style="width: 108pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 5266;"> <col width="132" style="width: 99pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 4827;" span="2"> <col width="170" style="width: 128pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 6217;"> <col width="167" style="width: 125pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 6107;"> <col width="103" style="width: 77pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3766;"> <col width="87" style="width: 65pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3181;"> <tbody> </tbody>

We can easily see that the 1stand 3rd rows are duplicates. How do I find duplicates in 10,000rows of data?

In order to be a duplicate, the following column names must matchexactly: Date; Code; Patient ID Number


Thank you!!!


<colgroup><col width="64" style="width: 48pt;" span="2"> <tbody> </tbody>

Copy PDF to Excel
Select data in PDF. Paste to Microsoft Word. Copy from Word and paste to Excel.
Try Data>Data Tools>Remove Duplicates

There are known bugs with Remove Duplicates, but I think your data would not be susceptible.
