I am trying to remove ALL duplicate records including the initial record. Using the "unique records only" leaves a version of the record. ie:

Red
Red
Yellow
Pink
Green
Green
Blue

with the "unique records only" function will leave you with

Red
Yellow
Pink
Green
Blue

I need something that removes all instances of the duplicate so I would be left with just:

Blue
Yellow
Pink

Is this possible?
