    Formula Assistance

    Need Excel Guru help…maybe not guru but more than I do:

    Guys,
    I need help with a project given to me by my boss. We had a programmer run an SCCM report that reported on all our computers and what version of Office was being run. Apparently, when the push to a new version was made they never uninstalled the previous version and just installed the newer version. My task with this Excel spreadsheet is to identify ONLY those people who don’t have 2010 already installed. As you can see from this brief mockup, the SCCM report lists the same computer but with multiple versions. I need to know a formula to strip out the duplicates that have 2010 installed and leave me with a list of machine names that do not have 2010 installed what so ever. The spreadsheet here in only about 15 rows, the real spreadsheet is over 2500 rows and I don’t want to do this project by manually deleting the duplicate machine names that do have 2010 installed.

    In this instance the result would be that 2 people did not have Office 2010 (Rob and Celeste)

    Any help would be appreciated!!!! File attached.

    Hi Garfield and welcome to the forum,

    You don't need a formula.

    Here is how to do this problem. First sort by Office Version Z-A and bring all the 2010 to the top.
    Then do a Data Tab, Remove Duplicates and Uncheck the Office Version. This will delete the names and rows of all those versions that have both installed. The people with older versions of Office left in the list need to be updated.

    I hope that helps.
    One test is worth a thousand opinions.

    Your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem, not your anticipated solution. Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.
    To change a Title on your post, click EDIT then Go Advanced and change your title, if 2 days have passed ask a moderator to do it for you.

    PLEASE PM WHEN YOU HAVE DONE THIS AND I WILL DELETE THIS POST
