Comparing the 'email' field and delete duplicates in Google Sheets corresponding to the duplicate email...
I'm using this code sample that is on the Google Apps Script site which removes the duplicates in the sheet but I need some help modifying this to my needs.
This is what my data looks like: https://i.imgur.com/EcUoQpf.png
The column headers are: Time, Name, Email, Contact, Stream and College Name. Now, I want to delete the duplicate rows comparing the email IDs of each row.
The sample code that I'm using is
/**
* Removes duplicate rows from the current sheet.
*/
function removeDuplicates() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues();
var newData = ;
for (i in data) {
var row = data[i];
var duplicate = false;
for (j in newData) {
if (row.join() == newData[j].join()) {
duplicate = true;
}
}
if (!duplicate) {
newData.push(row);
}
}
sheet.clearContents();
sheet.getRange(1, 1, newData.length, newData[0].length).setValues(newData);
}
Please help me fix this. Thanks!

I fixed it by just changing this:
if (row.join() == newData[j].join()) {
duplicate = true;
to
this:
if(row[1] == newData[j][1] && row[2] == newData[j][2]){
duplicate = true;
}
