Hello:

I am using Excel 2003, and I have three columns of data. Some of the
records of each of the three columns (a) have spaces between them and (b)
have duplicates.

Is there a way to pull out the spaces (i.e. the blank records) and eliminate
the duplicate records?

In an attempt to filter out the duplicates, I went to Data...Advanced Sort
and checked the box "Unique records only". But, that was not correct. Some
duplicates and at least one blank record remained.

Any help on this would be thoroughly appreciated. Thanks.
