Hi,
You can use the Data, Filter, Advanced Filter, Unique records only option.
First put one row of titles at the top of each column. Only highlight
columns B:E for this source range and use the Filter in place option. You
can copy the results with column A to a new location.
Cheers,

I'm missing something here, did what you said ( filter in place and unique)
but when it comes to column A filter I select only column A and unique only?
then copy to another column it just repeats. not summing quantity deleting
redundacies
one method
use two helper columns (E,F?)
in E1
=a1
in e2
=if(and(B1=B2,C1=C2,D1=D2),E1+A1,A1)
in F1
=if(and(B1=B2,C1=C2,D1=D2),"",1)
copy E2 and paste to the end of your data
copy f1 and paste to the end of your data
select columns E and F
copy and paste special values
select column F and filter-autofilter
select blanks
select the visable cells and edit-delete rows
remove autofilter
select column E copy ans select Cell a1
paste spectial values
(It sounds more complicated than it is, but make sure you first try it on a
copy of your data)

A few little tweaks and it worked!

one method
use two helper columns (E,F?).......(changed because of there was a row "e")
in F1
=A1
in F2
=if(and(B1=B2,C1=C2,D1=D2,E1=E2),F1+A1,A2)<-----
in G1
=if(and(B1=B2,C1=C2,D1=D2,E1=E2),"",1)
copy F2 and paste to the end of your data
copy G1 and paste to the end of your data
select columns F and G
copy and paste special values
select column G and filter-autofilter
select blanks
select the visable cells and edit-delete rows (execpt the first row)
remove autofilter
select column F copy ans select Cell a1
paste spectial values
