I have several separate workbooks that need to be merged into one master file. Each source sheet is already using the DD/MM/YYYY date pattern in its “Start Date” column, so after everything is combined I want the entire dataset sorted by that column. Once the data is in one place, please: • Remove every completely blank row you find. • Eliminate only those rows that are 100 % identical across every column; if even a single cell differs, keep both copies. • For rows that look like duplicates but contain any discrepancy, leave both rows in place and highlight the mismatching cells with one uniform fill colour so they are easy to spot at a glance. The final deliverable is a single, clean .xlsx file containing all original information, correctly ordered by start date, free of blank rows, with exact duplicates removed and partial duplicates clearly colour-flagged.

Merging workbooks is the easy part, the partial-duplicate flagging is where accuracy matters. I'll stack every sheet into one master, drop blank rows, remove only fully identical duplicates, then group near-matches and highlight the differing cells in a single fill colour before sorting by Start Date as real dates, not text. I can start right away. 1) Do all source sheets share identical column headers and order? 2) Should near-duplicate grouping key on a specific column like Name or ID? Looking forward to it. Shayan
