If you want the then truly have the dupes gone, highlight the visible cells with your filtered data and hit alt-; (alt and semicolon) which copies visible cells (and not the hidden ones in between), go to a separate worksheet and paste it in. Then you can delete or stop using the first worksheet.

This worked like a charm - thank you!
I also didn't know about the copying only visible cells - that was a great tip as well!
