Free Excel add-in The Duplicate Master
By admin at 18 November, 2008, 4:26 pm
David Brett (a.k.a. brettjd) wrote an excellent utility for removing duplicates within Excel. But as his original web site is gone people are deprived from using the great free utility.
The add-in works in MS Excel 2003 and 2007. It was originally distributed through the site – http://members.iinet.net.au/~brettdj which is offline these days.
You can however download the the duplicate master xls file and use it for free.
Edit: Thanks to ElmasnoJ the duplicate master has got a companion – the help file. You can now download the help file for using the excel add-in.
Edit (Feb 2, 2010): Dave has released the new version of the add-in, Duplicate Master Version 2.13, Please go to the comment for the download link.
I will be greatful of the duplicate master
I think it’s fair enough if you ask for donation on this. Very useful!
Ceci,
Appreciate your comment. I don’t know contact details of David Brett, who made the software. As I can’t forward the donation to the original author it is not fair to ask for donation.
Thanks for hosting this, the site currently with my old website is having bandwidth issues
I hope it helps
Regards
Dave
Thanks David,
Tell me if you need help with your website.
Would be happy to help.
thx for the offer.
At this stage I think will dispense with the website and simply offer a download link. If not then I will come back to you on this
The good news is the beta version of Duplicate Master V2.0 is available at http://www.vbaexpress.com/forum/showthread.php?t=29338 for testing and comment.
I have beefed up the string comparison options considerably, to the extent where Regular Expression functionality is available for serious string matching

Hey, I just found the file on the http://www.archive.org. I thought I’d give it a try since they attempt to archive everything on the internet – and there it was!
