Have a spreadsheet with over 40,000 rows with a multitude of information

Data has been entered in sequential number fashion and 8 seperate rows
should be recorded for each entry, however having looked through some of the
data several items have mbeen missed

I am looking for a solution that searched column A, if there are 8 sets of
information to the one reference, then the rows are hidden or moved otherwise
the remaining rows of 7 or less inputs remain to be audited and updated.

This process has to be applied to all the 40000 rows of data ???

Any help would be appreciated

Many thanks
 
Hi
try in a helper column (e.g. column D) the following formula:
=COUNTIF($A$1:$A$40000,A1)
and copy this down for all rows (you may want to disable automatic
calculation though)

After this filter all values wich ware not equal to 8
