This article will guide you on how to get rid of duplicates from either the single column or from the multiple columns in LibreOffice. Removing duplicate entries is necessary to clean up the data. With LibreOffice advanced filter tool, you can easily remove these duplicate values from your data.
You can use Libre Office to open and edit existing #MS Office documents like excel word power point etc.
Libre Office is a free alternate to MS #office and offers same functionality. Its easy to install and use.
The #VLOOKUP function (short for Vertical LOOKUP) is a built-in Calc function that is designed to work with data that is organized into columns.
For a specified value, the function finds (or looks up) the value in one column of data, and returns the corresponding value from another column.
To find duplicates in #LibreOffice Calc:
Go to the worksheet that has the duplicate entries, and select 'Data' > 'Filter' > 'Standard Filter' (it seems to automatically select the data in the sheet that it will filter, you may want to do this manually beforehand).
It should then filter the data, and hide any duplicate records.
To insert a date in Libreoffice #Calc:
To enter a current date as a static date, press CTRL+; (semicolon). It will insert today's date as a static value in the corresponding cell.
Similarly to enter current time as staic value, press CTRL+SHIFT+; .
