I would like to know: 1 - How do you delete cells with dupicate content throughout an entire worksheet 2 - How do I delete cells that don't have certain criteria Ex. I want to delete all cells that don't have the word "shoes". Or, that do have the word shoes 3 - How do I filter all cells with certain criteria out from the rest. Ex. I want to move all cells that have the word "trees" together and separate from the rest of the cells - like at the top or bottom or to another column. |

All of these questions would require custom VBA programming code. Is that what you are looking for? |

Complete instructions on how to delete duplicates in ONE column are here: http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=135 If you have any VBA experience, perhaps you can edit that code to suit your needs. ;) |

If it's just for viewing purposes an 'Auto filter' will suffice for some of your needs. >Data >Filter >Auto Filter Once you have the filter in place you can use the custom filter to view words that don't contain a certain phrase (shoes), then select them and delete! |

Do it with regular e expression. A regular expression (regex or regexp for short) is a special text string for describing a search pattern. You can think of regular expressions as wildcards on steroids. You are probably familiar with wildcard notations such as *.txt to find all text files in a file manager. The regex equivalent is .*\.txt . But you can do much more with regular expressions. In a text editor like EditPad Pro or a specialized text processing tool like PowerGREP, you could use the regular expression \b[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}\b to search for an email address. Any email address, to be exact. Regards |
