Composite Key Matching: Match duplicates on custom combinations like Name + Phone or Invoice # + Date

Why Excel Native "Remove Duplicates" is Dangerous

Excel standard "Remove Duplicates" tool silently purges rows without showing you what was deleted, offers no comparative review of conflicting cell values, and ignores subtle whitespace or casing differences. SheetFix AI highlights duplicate clusters with row numbers, lets you choose keep-first or keep-last, provides color-coded diffs, and never silently drops near-duplicate candidates.
