Remove repeated table headers
Choose a header row and remove later matching header rows; comparison trims outer cell whitespace.
Remove repeated headers from combined exports
Choose the row that contains the column names. The cleanup trims surrounding whitespace in each cell before comparing later rows with that full header. Matching repeated headers commonly appear when several exported pages are combined.
Rows with changed spelling or cell values remain in place; surrounding whitespace alone does not preserve a repeated header. An ordinary data row that matches the chosen header after that trimming cannot be distinguished by intent, so review the removed-row count and preview before replacing your original file.
Keep the original available
This page creates a new result in the browser. The source text is not overwritten. Inspect row counts and the first records after a removed header, then download the cleaned CSV when the result is correct.
