Hi,
This is can be done by using a formula in a helper column to identify the columns that you need to delete.
I suggest this formula:
=IF(COUNTIF($B$2:$B$10,B2)>1,IF(A2=0,"To be removed",""),"")
After that, you can sort the helper column from A to Z, then select the marked columns and delete them.
Hope that helps
