Excel is one of the popular Microsoft Office programs.
In addition to creating tables--the most commonly used, a number of other functions available in Excel include formula-based calculations, graph creation, as well as a macro programming language called Visual.
While it is processing data in Excel, it is not uncommon for users to find duplicate content. Now, if you want to know how to find and remove duplicate content in Excel, see the following article.
In the first step, select the cells you want to search duplicates. The trick is to click the Home > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Duplicate Values.
In the Values with box, select the format you want to apply to that duplicate content, and then click OK.
Until this step you can already find the duplicate content and bookmark it.
Deleting duplicate content
When you execute the Remove Duplicates feature, you need to know that duplicate content in that document will be permanently deleted.
