Data Comparison in Excel? -

-

since yesterday i've been struggling thousands of data in excel. reduce amount of data have, decided take important ones , remove others. goes identical strings smaller values in case.

let's take 3x2 data:

          b   --------------- 1 | abc123 | 10 |   --------------- 2 | abc123 | 50 |   --------------- 3 | abc123 | 300 |   ---------------

so can see there 3 identical strings, yet have different values. want compare values between these identical strings, , keep string biggest value , delete analogues.

this simple example. there tons of identical strings in file have different values. , (somehow) biggest 1 optimal one, don't need rest of them.

and question is, supposed accomplish this? functions, formulas, anything?

i'd appreciate help. lot!

you sorting range values(biggest smallest), go data tab, , use 'remove duplicates'. make sure have column selected strings when remove duplicates, , nothing else. otherwise, may lose more data meant to.
