How to Remove Duplicates Using Google Sheet Function
Functions in Google Sheets are built-in formulas that perform specific tasks and calculations. They are used to manipulate data, perform mathematical operations, analyse information and automate tasks in Google Sheets. Google sheet has a UNIQUE function which we can use to create a separate table which is dynamic (means it will automatically change when we change the original data) based on the columns. However it will not remove the duplicates but will show a different table which has only Unique Values.
Step 1: Select the Starting Cell
Select a cell which will be the starting point of our new table. Select a cell and put your cursor on the selected cell. In this case cell D3 has been selected.
Step 2: Enter The Unique Formula
In the cell write ” =UNIQUE(COLUMN_START: COLUMN_END) “. Replace COLUMN_START and COLUMN_END with your column start and end.
In this case I wrote =UNIQUE(A2:B10)
Step 3: Press Enter
After writing the formula you need to press the Enter key and now you’ll see a separate table has been created from the cell you choose which does not contains any duplicates.
