I have a data base with 9000 records. Unfortunately there are duplicate records. Easy enough to remove dup's but.....column a = first name b = last name c = company name d= SubCategory1 and e = SerialNumber (which relates to last name). The problem is column d. I need to combine SubCategory1 with all the other SubCategory1’s for the last name or SerialNumber and then remove the extra rows.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
<o></o>
i.e. instead of three (some times just two and at times four) records:<o></o>
<o></o>
John,Smith,University,Hospital,94421<o></o>
John,Smith,University,GraduateSchool,94421<o></o>
John,Smith,University,(All),94421<o></o>
<o></o>
I will end up with ONLY one:<o></o>
John,Smith,University,Hospital/GraduateSchool/(All),94421
<o></o>
<o></o>
Hope this make sense. ANY help will be gratefully appreciated.
