Hi Louis,

You can use duplicate rules in salesforce to prevent duplicate data in salesforce org.

Remove duplicates from CSV before you import

Hi, Yes ofcourse there are tools available for that! A popular one is DemandTools. It's a data quality tool suite that can help you clean up your data before uploading to Salesforce. It has a de-duplication module that lets you check CSV files for duplicates, which is pretty neat.

There's also DupeCatcher, which can prevent duplicates from being entered into Salesforce in real-time. It doesn't work on CSVs before upload, but it can stop bad data from entering your system. Remember, always clean and verify your data before any major upload. It saves a lot of time and trouble later on!
