How do I remove duplicate shipment rows from a combined TMS and manual tracker Excel file?

Upload the combined workbook to Deliteful and enter your tracking number or shipment ID column name. The tool removes all duplicate rows per worksheet, keeping the first occurrence, and returns a clean file.

Can I deduplicate a carrier rate table workbook with one sheet per carrier?

Yes — each sheet is deduplicated independently. Specify the column that uniquely identifies each rate row (e.g., 'lane_id' or a combined origin-destination key) and each sheet is cleaned in a single upload.

What if shipment records appear in both an open-orders sheet and a closed-orders sheet?

Deduplication runs within each sheet only — rows are not compared across sheets. If you need cross-sheet deduplication, consolidate the relevant sheets into one before uploading.

Does Deliteful work with .xls exports from older TMS platforms?

Yes — both .xlsx and .xls formats are supported. No conversion needed before uploading.

Deduplicate Shipment Records and Carrier Rate Tables in Excel

Logistics coordinators combining shipment data from multiple carriers, warehouses, or TMS exports routinely end up with duplicate rows — the same tracking number or shipment ID appearing from two system pulls or a manual addition. Deliteful removes these duplicates from every worksheet in your Excel workbook by tracking number, shipment ID, or SKU, so your fulfillment reports and carrier invoices reflect accurate counts.

Supply chain Excel files accumulate duplicates at specific, predictable points: when weekly TMS exports overlap with a manual exception tracker, when a 3PL sends a shipment report that re-includes prior rows for open orders, or when rate tables from multiple carrier portals are combined into a single workbook for comparison. A duplicated shipment row inflates freight cost reports; a duplicated SKU row in a fulfillment export causes over-pick instructions. These aren't edge cases — they're recurring data quality issues in any multi-carrier, multi-warehouse operation.

Deliteful deduplicates every worksheet in your workbook in one upload. Specify 'tracking_number', 'shipment_id', or 'sku' as your key column and the tool keeps the first occurrence of each unique value per sheet, dropping all subsequent duplicates. For workbooks with one sheet per carrier or warehouse, each sheet is cleaned independently. Output is a values-only Excel file ready for cost allocation, carrier invoice audit, or WMS import.
