    Removing the 7th digit and duplicates

    Hi,
    Hoping everybody is doing OK.
    I need help with a formula to delete the 7 digit of a list of numbers and after that to delete the duplicates.
    The list is long more than 50,0000 lines.
    Please see the attachment.
    Thanks a lot for your attention in advance.

    In B2 and copy down,

    =left(a2, 6)

    Then select columns A & B, Data > Remove Duplicates, untick the first column, press OK.

    Removal of 7th digit

    =LEFT(A2,6)

    Actually this is removing everything from the 7th digit and beyond but based on your data gives the results you want.

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