Hi!

I have an Airtable where a new row is created every time someone enters a post. I display the contents of the column in a list viewer. I was wondering if there is a way to remove any duplicates.

\*I wanted to upload a picture of my list viewer and Airtable, but my access keep on getting denied. Sorry!

Thank you,

I believe the Dev’s are working on the access denied part as many of us are having that issue. As for removing duplicates from a list, the way I would do it would be to recreate the list. Use the “for each” block and check if the item from list 1 is in list 2, if true move to the next item else add to list 2. Extra blocks but usually the simplest way I know how.
