I'm trying to create an excel macro that can delete duplicate rows but keeps the original one based on the oldest date.

In the table below you will find the example data and the output for which I'm looking. I need to delete all duplicate rows but keep the oldest one based on the date column.

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.
Try

VBA Code:
Sub dele()
        Dim wk As Worksheet: Set wk = ActiveSheet
        
        With wk.Range("A1").CurrentRegion
            .Sort key1:=Range("C1"), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes
            .RemoveDuplicates 2, xlYes
        End With
End Sub
