Excel spreadsheets continue to represent a key tool for data storage and visualization. Functionalities such as Find & Replace or Sort help users speed up repetitive tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming and inefficient. Just like working on a spreadsheet with blank rows or cells that interfere with the correct application of rules and formulae, duplicate data can cause similar issues.<\/p>\n
In this post, you will learn different ways to find duplicate values to either highlight this information or delete as many duplicates as needed. From more basic highlighting features to more advanced filtering options, you\u2019ll learn how to work with the full potential of the desktop version of Excel.<\/p>\n
If you want to avoid duplicate data in Excel, Sheetgo<\/a>, an AI-powered data automation platform, can help. With Sheetgo, you can share specific sheets or ranges from your main spreadsheet, filter data, and even split it into multiple files. You can also merge everything into a master file.<\/p>\n Install Sheetgo today<\/a> to start managing, automating, and scaling your processes across your spreadsheets and workflows with AI. For a one-off cleanup, you can also try our free remove duplicates tool<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_id=”how-to-find-and-remove-duplicate-rows-in” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n The various methods shown in this article will first find the duplicate values to be removed and then show how to delete them. This two-step process is crucial, especially considering that you may not want to delete the duplicates automatically and keep only the unique value.

To avoid this, you may want to explore the following methods.<\/p>\n Here\u2019s how to delete duplicates in Excel but keep one; we strongly recommend that you always keep a copy spreadsheet in case you want to go back to the original dataset.<\/p>\n This is a straightforward way to get rid of any duplicate content without deleting them entirely; instead, the Advanced filter option hides your duplicates from your dataset.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Select a cell in your dataset and go to Data > Advanced filter to the far right.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/delete-duplicates-excel-advanced-filter.webp” alt=”Delete duplicates in Excel but keep one \u2014 Data tab with Advanced in the Sort and Filter group and cell A4 selected” title_text=”Data tab with Advanced in the Sort and Filter group and cell A4 selected” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> Choose to \u201cFilter the list, in-place\u201d or \u201cCopy to another location\u201d.

You can also leave the \u201cCriteria range\u201d empty. The only mandatory field to fill out is the \u201cCopy to\u201d if you selected the \u201cCopy to another location\u201d option.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong> Tick the \u201cUnique records only\u201d box to keep the unique values, and then \u201cOK\u201d to remove all duplicates.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/delete-duplicates-excel-unique-records-only.webp” alt=”Delete duplicates in Excel but keep one \u2014 Advanced Filter dialog with Unique records only ticked” title_text=”Advanced Filter dialog with Unique records only ticked” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n Advanced filters are an excellent way to remove duplicate values while keeping a copy of the original data. Don\u2019t forget that the Advanced filter option only applies to the entire table.<\/p>\n Although you can combine various formulae to remove duplicates in Excel, the UNIQUE function in Excel 2021 and Excel for Microsoft 365 makes this process much easier. First, let\u2019s explore the syntax of the UNIQUE formula: =UNIQUE(array, [by_col], [exactly_once])<\/p>\n Let\u2019s now apply the =UNIQUE formula to our dataset.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Enter the formula next to the set of data. You can either leave one column in between or place it directly next to the last data column. Like in most Excel formulae, as soon as you type at the beginning of the formula, the rest will prompt automatically. Select the range you want to apply the formula to.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/static.sheetgo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/remove-duplicates-excel-unique-formula.webp” alt=”Remove duplicates in Excel with UNIQUE \u2014 =UNIQUE(A:F typed in cell G1 with the function suggestion list open” title_text=”=UNIQUE(A:F typed in cell G1 with the function suggestion list open” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.22.2″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n 2.<\/strong> You can leave the second parameter [by_col] by simply including the comma before and after its place.

The most common feature is the \u201cHighlight Cell Rules\u201d, which allows you to format cell values according to color, font, and various other format styles. Although this method won\u2019t directly remove duplicates, it will make them extremely clear to identify.<\/p>\n 1.<\/strong> Select the range of cells you want to apply the conditional formatting rule to.
