Delete duplicate Name but not the blank rows

[kaon]

Hi all,

I am a newbie in excel marco and this forum (from Hong Kong).
I used the macro from cpearson.com, but slightly modified to suit m
need.

Here is the modification:

For r = Rng.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
V = Rng.Cells(r, 1).Value
If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(Rng.Columns(1), V) > 1 An
_
Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(Rng.Rows(r).EntireRow) <>
Then
Rng.Rows(r).EntireRow.Delete
N = N + 1
End If
Next r

I have no idea why this would also delete those blank rows.

Also, how to use CountA()? I mean the difference between count an
countA, coz I cannot find any from google.

Thanks

Try this for finding and deleting duplicates!

Sub RemoveDuplicateCells()
Dim Myrange As Range
Dim C As Range
Dim DelRange As Range
Dim FindRange
Set Myrange = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Columns("D"))
If Myrange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
FindRange = Array("D", "D", "D")
For Each elem In FindRange
Set C = Myrange.Find(elem, Myrange.Cells(1), xlValues, xlPart)
If Not C Is Nothing Then
If DelRange Is Nothing Then Set DelRange = Rows(C.Row)
firstaddress = C.Address
Do
Set C = Myrange.FindNext(C)
Set DelRange = Union(DelRange, Rows(C.Row))
Loop While firstaddress <> C.Address
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
If DelRange Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
DelRange.Delete shift:=xlUp
End Sub


Public Sub Delete_In_H()
Const MyColumn As Integer = 4
Dim lngRow As Integer
Dim maxRow As Integer

maxRow = Cells(ActiveSheet.Rows.Count, MyColumn).End(xlUp).Row

For lngRow = maxRow To 1 Step -1
If Cells(lngRow, MyColumn).Value = "D" Then

Cells(lngRow, 3).Delete
Cells(lngRow, 4).Delete
Cells(lngRow, 5).Delete
Cells(lngRow, 6).Delete
Cells(lngRow, 7).Delete

End If
Next lngRow
End Sub



Hope this helps!

Simo

But do I need to make any modification since it deletes nothing.

Thank Simon for your help.

I want to write a macro so that rows with duplicate names (row with th
name and no data in the cells of that row) can be removed but not th
blank rows

Sub AAAA()
Dim rng As Range, r As Long, v As Variant
Dim N As Long
Set rng = Range(Range("A1"), Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp))
For r = rng.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
v = rng.Cells(r, 1).Value
If Application.WorksheetFunction. _
CountIf(rng.Columns(1), v) > 1 And _
Application.WorksheetFunction. _
CountA(rng.Rows(r).EntireRow) <> 0 Then
rng.Rows(r).EntireRow.Delete
N = N + 1
End If
Next r

End Sub

worked for me. It won't delete truly blank cells. If you cells have
formula like

=if(condition,"",formula)

so it is displaying an empty string, this cell is not blank and will be
counted by CountA.

CountA counts cells containing anything. Count counts cells that contain
numbers.

Thank Tom for your great help.

No idea why the macro still keeps deleting truly blank rows! (Does th
border count?)

And I found how I change the for-loop loops from 'last-to-first' o
'first-to-last', it deletes duplicate rows with my data away.

Example:
A) Depre 123 123 124
B) Reven 123
C) Depre

I want to delete row C, but it keeps deleting row A!

What a mystery

All I can tell you is that as I posted it, that it did not delete truly
blank rows for me and as written, row C would be deleted and Row A retained.
