    She is hands down the best person for excel problems. It's the way she explains it. Let's face it, when you come to her videos, you usually have a problem, and you're usually on a deadline.
    She gets right to it.

    This showed on my feed at the perfect time. I'm going to be applying your last example to a data set with around ~10,000 rows today. This will make it so much easier that what I normally do. Thanks!

    Great video.... be careful when combining columns when looking for duplicates. I recommend putting a delimiter between the columns to help eliminate false duplicates. If you have the values AA BB two columns of data in the first row, and A ABB as the second row, they will end up giving you a false duplicate of AABB. Use a "-" as a delimiter to help remove this possibility. AA-BB won't get confused with A-ABB.

      same, I'd like to share another quick way to find duplicates with you, and hope it can be helpful too!
      you just need to open your file in WPS Office> select the range of your values>click “highlight duplicates”> click “set”
      then all the dupplicates will appear!

    I know this is a little off topic, but for anyone removing duplicates in power query for excel or power bi, there is a trap. Yes, just like in an excel spreadsheet the first unique row found is retained while others are removed. However, the way that first row is defined is the trap. It is not defined as the first row as the data is currently, but the first row when the data was first loaded. So you might do a sort to ensure the rows you want retained are at the top then remove duplicates but this will not give you the correct result. The solution is to include Table.Buffer in the remove duplicate query to reset the state of the data to the current sort order. Then the power query remove duplicates operation will work the same as if you removed duplicates from an excel spreadsheet.
