how can I modify this macro to work on another column besides "A"

zhead · #1 10-05-2015, 08:49 AM

Is it possible to modify this macro to work on any column? It seems to only work if my data is in column "A".

Sub luxation()
Dim N As Long
N = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
For i = N To 2 Step -1
If Cells(i, 1) = Cells(i - 1, 1) Then
Cells(i, 1) = ""
End If

Next i
End Sub

One way:

Code:

Sub luxation()
  Dim r             As Range
  Dim iRow          As Long
  Dim iCol          As Long
 
  Set r = ActiveSheet.UsedRange
 
  For iCol = 1 To r.Columns.Count
    For iRow = r.Rows.Count To 2 Step -1
      If r(iRow, iCol).Value2 = r(iRow - 1, iCol).Value2 Then r(iRow, iCol).ClearContents
     Next iRow
  Next iCol
End Sub

Thanks for your reply. But I only want to remove duplicates in column "R" instead of "A"
So how do I select which column.

Code:

Sub luxation()
  Dim i          As Long
 
  With Range("R:R")
    For i = .Cells(.Rows.Count).End(xlUp).Row To 2 Step -1
      If .Cells(i).Value2 = .Cells(i - 1).Value2 Then .Cells(i, 1).ClearContents
    Next i
  End With
End Sub
