Questions People Ask

Honest answers about how this works.

How exactly does it decide which row to keep?

By default it keeps the first occurrence of each key and discards later repeats, so the oldest record in file order wins. Switch the setting to keep the last occurrence instead when the newest row is the one you trust, and the duplicate count updates before you download.

Can I really see which rows were deleted?

Currently the tool focuses on the clean output, so the download contains only the rows that survived. You still see how many duplicates were found while you work, which is enough to confirm the key columns you chose are the right ones. An export listing only the removed rows is planned for a future update.

Are duplicates compared before or after parsing?

Duplicates are compared on parsed cell values, not raw text, so a quoted field is judged by its actual content rather than by the quote marks around it. Pick the key columns that define uniqueness, choose whether the first or last occurrence survives, and check the duplicate count before you download.
