Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.

Remove duplicates still leave duplicates. Column c is the unique identifier. Some rows have the same so # in column c but the other data may differ in one other column.

Remove duplicates DOES work . But you need to specify which columns make a duplicate. The default is that all columns (ie the whole row) must be the same. In your sample 4 rows there are no totally identical rows

eg to remove rows where cols A and B are the same make sure that you only have ticks against those 2 columns before clicking "remove duplicates" . Here is my "after" shot
