Not just remove dup rows but combine columns

  • Follow


I am trying to combine multiple contact lists - I want to not only get rid of 
the dups, but unfortunately some duplicated rows have data in columns that 
other rows don't. See below. 

Last	First	Phone	Phone 2	Email
Johnson	David	917		
Smith	Jim	917		
Johnson			212	dav@

I'd love to find some way that the above example would become:

Last	First	Phone	Phone 2	Email
Johnson	David	917	212	dav@
Smith	Jim	917		

Any help would be incredibly appreciated

Hi,

The obvious question here is how does one know that Johnson and Johnson 
David are the same
