I need help in filling up the highest education level column. The ranking is as follows:

Doctoral Degree (PHD)
1
Masters Degree
2
Postgraduate Certification
3
Bachelors Degree
4
Diploma
5
Senior High/A Levels
6
Vocational/Technical/Trade Certificate
7
Junior High/O Levels
8
Secondary and below
9

<tbody>
</tbody>


In conclusion: i only want the highest qualification and only one record for each user id

This is my code for the highest education level but i need help in removing duplicate and selecting the highest education level.

=IF(D2="Doctoral Degree","Doctoral Degree",IF(D2="Masters Degree","Masters Degree",IF(D2="Postgraduate Certification","Postgraduate Certification",IF(D2="Bachelors Degree","Bachelors Degree",IF(D2="Diploma", "Diploma",IF(D2="Senior High/A Levels","Senior High/A Levels",IF(D2="Vocational/

Thanks in Advance.
 

Excel Facts

How to find 2nd largest value in a column?
MAX finds the largest value. =LARGE(A:A,2) will find the second largest. =SMALL(A:A,3) will find the third smallest

For instance user id 1001, should be only one record and the highest education level is Postgraduate in this case.
