im trying to delete all duplicates based on an ID in column F, except one (it doesn't matter which one I keep...ie it could be the first one, could be the last duplicate).

trying to do this with a macro.

Just a little reminder, cells B12, B14, B16, B18, B20, B22, and B24 are drop down lists, that's why it's imperative for me to just clear the contents.

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().

Try this

VBA Code:
Sub test()
  Dim i As Long, f As Range
  For i = 24 To 14 Step -2
    Set f = Range("B12:B" & i - 2).Find(Range("B" & i), , xlValues, xlWhole)
    If Not f Is Nothing Then Range("B" & i).ClearContents
  Next
End Sub

if you still get an error on pc go to your VBA screen and click tools > references
make sure your "Microsoft Excel Object Library" (and maybe your office library) are ticked.
