    consolidate address list

    Hi there,

    I have a .csv file showing every person in my area in a list with their address. This will be used for a door-2-door delivery campaign.

    I must create a new version of this list showing only unique addresses. i.e. instead of unique individuals at their addresses I want to change the list to show addresses only.

    Can anyone tell me what the steps would be to achieve this.


    Thanks.

    Can you supply some example data, make something up
    DONT post actual data
    The purpose of this is to ascertain how your data is set out.

    e.g.
    SMITH, JOHN, 10 ACACIA AVENUE, SPRINGFIELD, SURREY
    or
    JOHN SMITH, 10 ACACIA AVENUE, SPRINGIFIELD, SURREY
    or
    Mr, JOHN SMITH, 10 ACACIA AVENUE, SPRINGIFIELD, SURREY

    Bear in mind any spelling mistakes or AVE instead of AVENUE, STREET instead of ST will also make those addresses look unique.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Does above make sense after the board has removed the formatting or should I maybe post a picture instead? It looked good before I pressed the 'post' button.

    Attach a sample workbook. Make sure there is just enough data to demonstrate your need. Include a BEFORE sheet and an AFTER sheet in the workbook if needed to show the process you're trying to complete or automate. Make sure your desired results are shown, mock them up manually if necessary.

    Remember to desensitize the data.

    Click on GO ADVANCED and use the paperclip icon to open the upload window.

    example before.xlsx example after.xlsx

    Should have the 'before' and 'after' examples there.

    Re: consolidate address list

    Your after example is containing a duplicate (last two). Select the entire data, use DATA → REMOVE DUPLICATES → USE columns ADDRESS 1 , ADDRESS 2 AND ADDRESS 3. Make sure to use "my Data has headers".

    Re: consolidate address list

    The after example shouldn't have had a duplicate. I just made a mistake.

    So the advice you're giving for 'REMOVE DUPLICATES' works to achieve what I'm asking as per initial post?

    Thanks.

    Yes it should work. Make sure you only select "address" column when you do the "REMOVE DUPLICATES" action.
