I am using below macros to remove duplicates and sort data

Code: 
Sub removeduplicates()

  ActiveSheet.Range("A4:B1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("B4:B1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("C4:C1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("D4:D1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("E4:E1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("F4:F1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("G4:G1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("H4:H1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("I4:I1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  ActiveSheet.Range("J4:J1000").removeduplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo
  
End Sub

Code: 
Sub sort()    
    Range("A4:A1000").sort Key1:=Range("A4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("B4:B1000").sort Key1:=Range("B4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("C4:C1000").sort Key1:=Range("C4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("D4:D1000").sort Key1:=Range("D4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("E4:E1000").sort Key1:=Range("E4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("F4:F1000").sort Key1:=Range("F4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("G4:G1000").sort Key1:=Range("G4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("H4:H1000").sort Key1:=Range("H4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("I4:I1000").sort Key1:=Range("I4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    Range("J4:J1000").sort Key1:=Range("J4"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
    
End Sub


Is there a better way to write the macro.

Further I would like following 2 conditions if possible for both macros.

1) Starting from row # 4 look at the last used cell in each column rather than define range in macro
2) Both macros should remove data & sort data only if more than 8 cells have data in there.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Humayun
 
Sort by date Sort by votes
How about
Code: 
Sub duplicatesremove()
   Dim i As Long
   
   For i = 3 To 24 Step 3
      If Cells(2, i) > 8 Then
         With Cells(5, i - 2).Resize(1000, 2)
            .RemoveDuplicates Columns:=Array(1, 2), Header:=xlNo
            .Sort Key1:=Cells(5, i - 2), Order1:=xlAscending, Key2:=Cells(5, i - 1), Order2:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
         End With
      End If
   Next i
End Sub

Excel Facts

Which came first: VisiCalc or Lotus 1-2-3?
Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston debuted VisiCalc in 1979 as a Visible Calculator. Lotus 1-2-3 debuted in the early 1980's, from Mitch Kapor.
BINGO........ Works Great.

Mine code > hundred lines :( (all I am capable of is just recording stuff and finding things on net here & there)

Your code > 6 lines :)

Bunch of thanks...... for being very very helpful

Hi Fluff,

Just noticed one thing.. That every time I run the code some cells gets locked up.. I have only locked cells which have formulas in there


Code: 
Sub remove_duplicates_sort()
   ActiveSheet.Unprotect
   
  Dim i As Long
   
   For i = 1 To 10
      If Cells(2, i) > 8 Then
         With Cells(4, i).Resize(Cells(2, i))
            .removeduplicates 1, xlNo
            .sort key1:=Cells(4, i), order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlNo
         End With
      End If
   Next i
       
       ActiveSheet.Protect DrawingObjects:=True, Contents:=True, Scenarios:=True _
        , AllowFormattingCells:=True
   
End Sub

Is there anything in the code which is causing the cells to lock... I don't see anything

There's nothing there that is changing cells to locked.
But as you are deleting cells the cells below will shift up, so you need to make sure that the entire column is unlocked.

yes the entire column is unlocked.

In fact I selected whole sheet and unlocked all the cells. Then I selected only those cells which have formulas in there.

But when I run the code some unlock cells get locked.....

I can see no reason for that to happen.
