Hi,

 

My dataset contains duplicate, triplicate or even more subject IDs. However, I do not know which duplicate is correct so I would like to remove the IDs with more than 1 count completely.

 

For example, there are two subject ID#1002. I would like to remove both subject ID#1002 completely. I would also like to export all the subjects who have been removed to a dataset so I can keep track of who has duplicates in the dataset. 

 

Thank you all in advance!
