Pro Tips for Cleaner Unique Lists
Check capitalization, whitespace, line breaks, and exact matches
Check capitalization
Different capitalization is treated as different text, so normalize case first when needed.
Review line breaks
Make sure each item is on its own line before processing.
Inspect the counts
Use the removed count to quickly confirm that duplicates were detected.
Keep the source
Save or duplicate the original text before replacing it with the cleaned output.
Check exact matches
Review similar-looking lines because small spelling or whitespace differences may remain.
Compare the cleaned result
Use Text Compare to verify the deduplicated output against the original or another version.
