Hello Again,
I have a spreadsheet with 10428 line of vendor contact information, I need
to parse the lines as there are multiple duplicates for one reason or
another.

example above, there is really another phone number column, I need to put a
formula in a column to the right to find the duplicate records first by the 3
or 4 fields. Then I need to pear down the data to remove the duplicates, as
you can see some of the example if would have been matching except the forgot
to put the first name in the record so it looks like a different record. My
goal is to have 1 vendor name associated with 1 number with potentially
multiple contacts and contact numbers. Right now the data is jumbled because
of the garbage input. I hope I have explained this correctly, any help would
be great!

Thank you,
Lou
 
In your new column enter this starting on second line ---
=If(A1=A2,"DUP","")
Do an autofill. Copy the column and paste special - values. Then sort and
delete the duplicates in column A.
