I have a very large spreadsheet that has several rows of data that are duplicates of other rows, except for data in one cell.

For example,
A B C D E
[TABLE="class: cke_show_border, width: 445"]
<colgroup><col width="152"><col width="80"><col width="71" span="3"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 152"]Badge Type: Badge Name[/TD]
[TD="width: 80"]Is a Young Lawyer Member[/TD]
[TD="width: 71"]Customer Number[/TD]
[TD="width: 71"]Full Name[/TD]
[TD="width: 71"]Firm Name[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]test 1[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]0[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]391026[/TD]
[TD] first name1[/TD]
[TD]last name 1[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]test 2[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]118004[/TD]
[TD]first name 2[/TD]
[TD]last name 2[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]test 3[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]0[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]64096[/TD]
[TD]first name3[/TD]
[TD]last name 3[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]test 4[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]0[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]500461[/TD]
[TD]first name4[/TD]
[TD]last name 4[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]
[TD]test 5[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]0[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]500461[/TD]
[TD]first name 4[/TD]
[TD]last name 4[/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]


I would like a formula or macro that will find the match C4 & C5 and then delete the entire row C5.

There are many instances where there are between 3-6 additional rows that have this type of duplicated data.

Thank for any help or suggestions.

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.
give this a shot

Code:
Sub t()
Dim i As Long
    With ActiveSheet
        For i = .Cells(Rows.Count, 3).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
            If Application.CountIf(Range("C:C"), .Cells(i, 3).Value) > 1 Then
                Rows(i).Delete
            End If
        Next
    End With
End Sub

Be sure that you want to delete an entire row based on duplicates in only one column.

Another way :
Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("A1:XFD" & Cells(Rows.Count, "C").End(3).Row).RemoveDuplicates Columns:=3, Header:=xlYes
