duplicate issue

step_one,

Give this a try:

Sub RemoveDuplicatesMacro_for_step_one()
    
    Const DupCol As String = "J"
    Const StartRow As Long = 9
    
    Dim LastRow As Long: LastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, DupCol).End(xlUp).Row
    Dim rngFound As Range
    Dim RowIndex As Long, MVal As Double
    
    For RowIndex = LastRow To StartRow Step -1
        If Cells(RowIndex, DupCol).Value <> vbNullString Then
            MVal = Cells(RowIndex, "M").Value
            Set rngFound = Range(Cells(StartRow, DupCol), Cells(RowIndex - 1, DupCol)).Find(Cells(RowIndex, DupCol).Value)
            If Not rngFound Is Nothing Then
                If Cells(rngFound.Row, "M").Value > MVal Then
                    Cells(RowIndex, DupCol).EntireRow.Delete xlShiftUp
                Else
                    rngFound.EntireRow.Delete xlShiftUp
                End If
            End If
        End If
    Next RowIndex
    
End Sub

To add a macro to a workbook:

1. Save a copy of the Excel workbook you want to modify
   • Always test macros in a copy so that the original is preserved in case the modifications don't go smoothly
2. Open the copy of the Excel workbook you want to modify
3. Use the keyboard shortcut ALT+F11 to open the Visual Basic Editor
4. Insert -> Module
5. Copy/Paste the code into that area

To run a macro in a workbook:

1. In Excel (not the Visual Basic Editor) press the keyboard shortcut ALT+F8
2. Double-click the desired macro (I named this one RemoveDuplicatesMacro_for_step_one)

Hope that helps,
