Excel has a feature where you can remove duplicates with a single click. This would be very helpful to have in LibreOffice as well.

Yes, that is what I was looking for. But I still think it should be an optional button/dialog available on the main toolbar without having to go through all that. Like this: https://thinkandbegin.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/remove-dup-2.png

Below also another program that easily performs the procedure. WPS Spreadsheets http://pt-br.tinypic.com/r/2h663gj/8
Additional detail: in Excel, the function *removes* duplicates in-place, while filter in LO only allows hiding in-place, or removing by copying to a different location. So actually, LO lacks the functionality.
(In reply to Joel Madero from comment #1) > Like this: > http://milospjanic.blogspot.com/2011/10/how-to-remove-duplicates-in- > libreoffice.html ? IMHO, in Excel it made more clear for users. Different dialogue with very simple options. And in result in Excel we have only rows without any duplicates and without copying of result to another range...

I would also like to request that "Remove Duplicates" is added to Calc. In Excel, removing duplicates from a column is a one click action. In Calc I have to go through multiple steps to obtain this. It's a waste of time if it's encessary to do it in multiple spreadsheets, it's a waste of time to make a macro and other spreadsheets offer this by default. There is an extension that adds this function to Calc so I propose that this is added to the default installation, that a .uno command is created for this button to be integrated in the Notebookbars as well. https://extensions.libreoffice.org/extensions/remove-duplicates

Well, that extension apparently does not work in 6.1
Dear Markus and Eike, Would it be possible to use the code on the extension to provide this function by default on Calc? It is a really useful data manipulation option that Calc should have by default like most Office suites have.

Well, Muhammet Kara after checking the extension confirmed that it is written in Basic, meaning that it is a macro. If someone would translate it to C++, it would be awesome.

Couldn't this extension be added by default to LibreOffice?

Also, please consider adding support for it to create its own tab in the Tabbed Bar UI.
I don't know much about LibreOffice software and people are using it and I am the one who knows start working on it. The https://www.assignmenthelper.com.au/do-my-assignment/ share some of the tips and features which will help me more than for sure.
Since we have a working solution with the standard filter dialog it should be easy to add a new UNO command and run the filter procedure with a predefined setting. Code pointer sc/source/ui/view/tabvwshc.cxx #308 sc/source/ui/dbgui/sfiltdlg.cxx Would understand this as a medium to interesting difficulty.
Just to mention: this is not just filtering. It also deletes the cells with duplicate values. But I guess that is one minor thing to add.

https://www.univention.com/blog-en/2020/11/onlyoffice-docs-brand-new-name-and-big-updates-for-spreadsheets/ OnlyOffice, which is an open source (GPL3) office suite added the RemoveDuplicates function. Maybe we could use their function.

OnlyOffice doesn't use LibreOffice, so I don't see how we could use their function.
Maybe look at it and make something similar in LibO codebase. Thanks for the explanation on the Telegram channel.

Note that any feature request having a working extension with compatible license is already an easy hack. Just use its source code as the template that provides the required logic - it uses UNO commands, which may be easily converted to a C++ code, and assign a new UNO command to that new function. (Given that Remove Duplicates Fast is based on Remove Duplicates (https://github.com/ACTom/lo-extension-removeduplicates) which is GPLv3, which doesn't allow to use its code in LO directly because we need an MPL-compatible license, interested parties may ask the author for changed license in a github issue.)
What MPL specific license do you recommend?
Asked the dev in a new issue.
The developer already changed the license to MPL 2.0. Hopefully this allows someone to pick this up. :D
Important, also the values of the duplicate selected cells should be deleted and not the entire rows. Moving the remaining data up to leave the blank spaces below.
Created attachment 184664 [details] Why remove the whole row? The filter hides the entire 8th row, including the letter f (view image attached). The correct behavior would be to remove values 1 and 4 from row 8. Do not filter by hiding row 8 but move values 2 and 1 from row 9 up one cell and leave B9 and C9 empty. I know this was a standard filter, but the button that they put specifically to remove duplicates should not be a filter, but actually remove the duplicate values within the selection and not the entire row.
Created attachment 185548 [details] WPS Worksheets Manage Duplicates menu WPS Worksheets is vastly superior in managing duplicates to any other office suite. It not only allows for removal, but also highlighting and also fetching unique values or highlight them.
Created attachment 185549 [details] Dialog It allows selecting duplicates in selected range, in two ranges within the sheet, in different sheets in the worksheet and in different worksheets!
Created attachment 185550 [details] Highlight values
Created attachment 185551 [details] Fetch unique values This is a feature already available in MSO since at least 2007 and it's a feature that's been actively worked on in other Office suites as well, to a point where it is very well designed. All in all, this is a feature that is sorely lacking in Calc for several years now and with the evolution of this feature visible in OnlyOffice and WPS Worksheets (available in Linux as well), and with the RemoveDuplicates extension having compatible license with LibO it's hard to understand why this has been overlooked for so long now.
(In reply to Pedro from comment #42) > with the RemoveDuplicates > extension having compatible license with LibO it's hard to understand why > this has been overlooked for so long now. 0. both extensions https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/remove-duplicates https://extensions.libreoffice.org/en/extensions/show/remove-duplicates-fast are licensed GPL (whatever version) and thus are *not* compatible with LibreOffice licensing. 1. even if they were, that tells nothing about the source code whether it would fit into LO core code (or even be in C++ that it could). 2. if those extensions fulfil the requirements, then why not use them.
If we realize bug 149933 searching for duplicates could be one option too.

Eike Rathke, the developer changed the license on his github repo to MPL 2.0.

The Fast extension was an improvement done by Mike Kaganski and Kompilainnen I believe. They did not change the license on their extension yet.
Am definitely missing this in Calc right now.
(In reply to Pedro from comment #47) > The Fast extension was an improvement done by Mike Kaganski and Kompilainnen > I believe. They did not change the license on their extension yet. Since our extension was based on the previous one, our license was necessarily the same. Since the old extension's license is now MPL 2.0, I am glad to re-license my work under MPL 2.0. Roman's turn.
I'm assuming this bug is about adding the command. If we also want to simplify/alter the filtering dialog - that should be a separate bug. (If I'm wrong - please change the title, clarify the bug's scope in a comment, and refer to the comment in the title)
(In reply to Eyal Rozenberg from comment #50) The original request was to implement a feature *like Excel's "remove duplicates"*. Filters are orthogonal to that, they never remove any duplicates, only hide or do a partial copy.
Your work is truly remarkable! Thank you for providing us with this wonderful website and all your hard work.
