Macro to delete duplicate items -Help pleaseSolved/Closed

Question

Hello,    


I'm trying to create a macro to delete the row that has a word at the biginnig and the same word at the end. Example: MIA/SFO/MIA   
There is a "/" between words or  acronyms in each row   

Any help?   

Thanks a million!!!

Could you please upload a sample EXCEL file WITH sample data, macro, formula , conditional formatting etc on some shared site like https://authentification.site  , http://docs.google.com, http://wikisend.com/  , http://www.editgrid.com  etc and post back here the link to allow better understanding of how it is now and how you foresee. Based on the sample book, could you re-explain your problem too

Sub removedup()
Dim lLastRow As Long
Dim vLPos As Variant
Dim vRPos As Variant

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    lLastRow = Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row
    
    Do While lLastRow > 0
        
        vLPos = InStr(1, Cells(lLastRow, "A"), "/")
        If vLPos > 0 Then
            vRPos = InStrRev(Cells(lLastRow, "A"), "/")
            
            If ((vRPos > 0) And (vRPos > vLPos)) Then
                
                If (Left(Cells(lLastRow, "A"), vLPos - 1) = Mid(Cells(lLastRow, "A"), vRPos + 1)) Then
                    
                    Cells(lLastRow, "A").Delete shift:=xlUp
                End If
            End If
        
        
        End If
    
        lLastRow = lLastRow - 1
    Loop
    
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
