remove duplicates but retain one not delete both

[davidS]

I have an excel 2007 list of names, addresses, phone numbers email
addresses etc and there are many duplicate records.
If I sort by postcode for example I can manually delete them but there
are several thousand records and it will be very time consuming.
If I use the excel duplicate delete function it removes BOTH records
instead of letting me keep one.
Additionally, I really need to delete the duplicate record which is
not as complete as the other duplicate.
For example if there are 2 duplicates and one contains email address
and the other does not, then the one WITHOUT the email should be
deleted.
How can I do this pls?
Some function like "search for duplicate records by postcode and
delete 1 record which CONTAINS NULL in row G " ...... something like
that
