Hello,
I have a spreadsheet where I would like to remove duplicate values from columns A-E based on duplicates in column C (or B, either will work--not sure if it is easier to use a number or text column). I want to leave the A-E data in the first row that a name appears, but blank it out below, until a row with a new name.

I thought I had a solution using the formulas below, but it's blanking everything:
A1: =IF(C1=C2,"",A1)
B1: =IF(C1=C2,"",B1)
C1: =IF(C1=C2,"",C1)
D1: =IF(C1=C2,"",D1)
E1: =IF(C1=C2,"",E1)

The tables below are TABLEA: What I'm starting with; TABLEB: What I want to achieve; TABLEC: What happens when I apply the formulas.

Thank you for your help!!

Heather

Sure, thanks. The first table is my spreadsheet. The second is what happens when I run the vba module above. The third is what I want it to do.

Excel Facts

Remove leading & trailing spaces
Save as CSV to remove all leading and trailing spaces. It is faster than using TRIM().
Ahhhh. You neglected to make one change to the code. Your original post has the names in the C column, #3. Your last post has the names in the F column, #6.

So you should have changed:

VBA Code: 
        If SavedArray(ArrayRow, 3) = SavedArray(ArrayRow - 1, 3) Then                       '   If This row value = previous row value then ...

to:

VBA Code: 
        If SavedArray(ArrayRow, 6) = SavedArray(ArrayRow - 1, 6) Then                       '   If This row value = previous row value then ...

Now that you seemingly understand how the code was working, try the following shortened code:

VBA Code: 
Sub RemoveSomeCellsV2()
'
    Dim ArrayRow            As Long
    Dim DeleteColumnCell    As Long
    Dim LastRowInSheet      As Long
    Dim SavedArray          As Variant
'
    LastRowInSheet = Cells.Find("*", , xlFormulas, , xlByRows, xlPrevious).Row              ' Returns a Row Number
'
    SavedArray = Range("A1:X" & LastRowInSheet)                                             ' Save values into 2 dimensional 1 based Array ... 5 wide
'
    For ArrayRow = UBound(SavedArray) To 2 Step -1                                          ' Work backwards through rows because we will be deleting values
        If SavedArray(ArrayRow, 6) = SavedArray(ArrayRow - 1, 6) Then                       '   If This row value = previous row value then ...
            For DeleteColumnCell = 1 To 24                                                   '       Loop to delete values from columns A to X
                SavedArray(ArrayRow, DeleteColumnCell) = vbNullString                       '           Delete the value from the array
            Next
        End If
    Next                                                                                    ' Loop back to do next check
'
    Range("A1:X" & LastRowInSheet) = SavedArray                                             ' Print the saved array back to the sheet
End Sub
