I’ve got a problem with removing duplicates from set of data

Column A is a client
Column B is a product
Column C is the date when it’s effective

What I want to do is few steps which I can’t figure out how tocombine:

  1. Sort by columnC – Newest to oldest
  2. Removeduplicate rows – here’s the tricky part
Column A & B aregoing to be duplicates – for example 10 products per client, so each clientwill have 10duplicates in column B

Below is what I want to happen (which I do manually now)
Some macro or logic to remove the duplicates based on the Newestdate – but to differentiate between column A&B

Once you have sorted the data, just use remove duplicates. Select all 3 columns, but only select columns a and b for the duplicate check. As the data is in the right order, the first (i.e. newest) will be retained. If you want the result to look like your example, then copy the source data into the result columns and do the remove duplicates there.
