Identify row duplicates and merge unique data

[melisa]

Hello, I have been trying unsuccessfully to find a solution. I have a master spreadsheet that I add rows to each week. Some of the added rows contain duplicates. I need to be able to find the duplicates and either merge them or keep the lastest duplicate.

this is an example of what I need to do. I have 1000's of rows and lots of columns, I am only worried about the duplicates in Column A and the only data that will need to be merged is in Columns D-G


CURRENT
1234567 Step 1 10/1/2014 John Smith
7654321 Step 5 11/1/2014 Jane Doe
1234567 Step 2 10/1/2014 John Smith

NEED THIS

1234567 Step 2 10/1/2014 John Smith
7654321 Step 5 11/1/2014 Jane Doe

OR THIS

1234567 Step 1, Step 2 10/1/2014 John Smith
7654321 Step 5 11/1/2014 Jane Doe

Hi Melisa,

Welcome to the Forum!

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.

I am unable to upload the test file. I receive the error below.

"This assest is not currently being used by any content that you have access to."

Could it be blocked by my workplace? I'm sorry...new to this.

Edited: Okay it looks like the file did make it

Perhaps next code can help
Note:
for Loan Number = 765 it is not the same Step 5 (space at the end)
