Frequently asked questions
This page downloads WPS Office. Features vary by platform, version and plan.
Does a repeated ID always mean a row should be deleted?
No. A customer can have multiple legitimate orders. Choose a key that matches the record grain and inspect conflicting values first.
What is included in the remove duplicate rows starter?
An original editable XLSX example with customer id, customer, city, orders, id occurrences and task instructions. The source deliberately contains duplicate keys. The workbook does not automatically delete records.
Where do I edit the workbook?
Download the starter and open it in WPS Spreadsheets. Editing happens in the app; this page does not process or upload your workbook. Save an XLSX copy to keep working, or export a reviewed view as PDF.
What happens when I select the download button?
On Windows or macOS, WPS starts the app download. On Linux, copy the installation command or choose a manual package. On iPhone, iPad, Android or Chromebook, continue to the appropriate app store. This page does not upload, convert or edit your files.
