Well if you sorted on the column where the names are stored, you would have all of each name grouped together. I've not had much with filters, and I've never worked with the delete duplicate feature. I usually just manually delete the rows I do not want.

I guess what I meant is that my name appears in rows 100 times in column f and your name appears on 100 rows in column f. So I believe if I sort on column f all ann rows will be together and 100 rows annette would be together. If I could drop duplicates or summarize on column f then I would have 1 row for Ann and 1 row for Annette. I sort of found something for Excel 2003 in data, filter, advanced filter, drop duplicate records, but it did not work as I thought it would. I'll try again later or tomorrow. I find when I walk away from something and go back to it later I usually solve problem. But thank you for your suggestion. Even the sort on column did not work for column f. The real data in column F is an IP address because I am tracking the c:\windows\PFirewall.Log file because I thought I had a hacker on my PC. Long story but this sighted person had access to my desktop inside my home. I blocked exceptions in Windows firewall, changed passwords on DSL, modem, banks. I added passwords to all sensitive documents on my PC. So I thought this file if sorted and summarized would go from about 37,000 rows down to about 100 or less. I then could do research on IP addresses. It is just my way of trying to investigate. I have AVG Free edition 8.0 and Super AntiSpyware software installed. I'll let you know if I succeed. I am uncertain if I could even research these 100 IP address. Most IP addresses are mine or ones that I know about. Hope this makes sense.
