'Updateby Extendoffice
    Dim xRgS As Range

    Dim I As Long, J As Long
    On Error Resume Next
    Set xRgS = Application.InputBox("Please select the column:", "KuTools For Excel", Selection.Address, , , , , 8)
    If xRgS Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    Set xRgD = Application.InputBox("Please select a desitination cell:", "KuTools For Excel", , , , , , 8)
    If xRgD Is Nothing Then Exit Sub
    xRows = xRgS.Rows.Count
    J = 0
    For I = xRows To 1 Step -1
        If Application.WorksheetFunction.CountIf(xRgS, xRgS(I)) > 1 Then
            xRgS(I).EntireRow.Copy xRgD.Offset(J, 0)
            xRgS(I).EntireRow.Delete
            J = J + 1
        End If
    Next
End Sub
