I have one column of part numbers that contains duplicates.

I conditionally format the column to show duplicates in red.

Then I click on the "Remove Duplicates" in the DATA tab and it says that the duplicates have been removed but I can see that they have not.

Why?

How do I remove the duplicates?

It's a bug when you have a mix of texts and numbers.
Sort your data first, then remove duplicates
I believe that it is fixed in the latest version(s). Certainly the examples of failure that I had with older versions (here is one that I used to refer people to) now do not fail with my Excel 365.
