Screen removing repeated customer rows.

Step by step

  1. Save the list as UTF-8, check the delimiter.
  2. Open the tool, upload, confirm headers.
  3. Mark key columns like Email.
  4. Run dedup, review duplicate counts.
  5. Download the clean list.

Example scenario

A 5000-row list keyed on Email finds 620 repeats, dropping to 4380 unique records. The clean list uploads to mailing with no double sends.

Check your result

Filter the key column for leftover repeats. Removed plus remaining must equal the original count. Too many removed means too broad a key.
