I have an Excel workbook where certain rows share the same date value, and that date is the only criterion I care about when flagging duplicates. I need every record whose date appears more than once identified, then lifted out of the original table and placed neatly into a separate sheet titled “Duplicates”. The main sheet must retain only the first occurrence of each date so my reporting formulas continue to work without adjustments. Your process can rely on formulas, Power Query, VBA, or any combination you find quickest; what matters to me is accuracy and a file that stays responsive for future updates. When you hand back the file I should see: • Sheet 1: the cleaned dataset, free of any repeat dates • Sheet 2 (“Duplicates”): every removed record, preserving all original columns I’ll consider the job complete once a quick spot-check confirms no date appears in both sheets and no data outside the date field was altered.

DUPLICATE DATES BECOME A PROBLEM WHEN REMOVING THEM CREATES NEW PROBLEMS ELSEWHERE IN THE WORKBOOK. What stood out to me is that you don't just want duplicates removed—you need the first occurrence to remain in Sheet 1 while every additional occurrence is moved to a separate sheet without losing any data. I can set this up so the process is accurate, repeatable, and easy to use going forward. • Keep the first occurrence of each date in Sheet 1 • Move all duplicate date entries to a separate "Duplicates" sheet • Preserve all original row data and formatting • Ensure the final workbook remains clean and easy to maintain • Use the most efficient method based on your workbook structure, whether that's Power Query or Excel formulas Before delivering, I'll verify that every date appears only once in the cleaned sheet and that all duplicate records have been captured correctly. Approximately how many rows are in the workbook, and are the dates stored in a single column or spread across multiple sheets? Send me a message and I can review the file and suggest the quickest, safest way to handle it.
