Just for the records. There is an easy method to delete duplicate rows in a range keeping the first one.

Select the range
Home > Format as Table
in Tables Tools click in Delete Duplicates; uncheck January and February
Ok

Done!

Right-click in any cell inside the table; click in Table and convert to range (if desired)

Hi Marcelo, I tested your above suggestion and is right and also very simple too. My query is how you determine to delete specific second row and not the first ? Just I am asking to improve my knowledge in excel. Have a great day

Click to expand...

To determine if it is the first instance, in a column with duplicates, we can use COUNTIF with a progressive range.

Example

Formula in B2 copied down
=IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)=1,"Yes","No")

Note that the range A$2:A2 in the first cell (B2), in the second cell (B3) becomes A$2:A3, in the third A$2:A4, and so on.
