How to Remove Duplicates in Google Sheets in Seconds

Learn how to remove duplicates in Google Sheets using the built-in Data cleanup tool — fast, easy, and no formulas required! Perfect for cleaning up large spreadsheets. Ideal for beginners and pros alike.

This video focuses on full duplicates across all three columns.
What you do next depends on your specific goal:

• If you have duplicates only in the first column, and the second and third columns contain unique values, and you only want to remove the first-column duplicates — just select the first column only (not the whole table) and follow the same steps as in the video. This will leave blank cells in the first column where duplicates were removed, while the data in the second and third columns remains intact.

• If you have duplicates in the first column and want to remove entire rows containing those duplicates (regardless of whether columns 2 and 3 have duplicates or not), then in the final step before deleting duplicates, go to the "Columns to analyze" section and uncheck all boxes except the first column. This way, the entire row will be deleted based on duplicates in column one alone.

There are many ways to remove duplicates in Google Sheets — it all depends on your specific task. This is just one method that can help you save time in the right scenario.
