Default extracting unique items

Thanks for your honest assessment.

the code provided will not do what you are looking for, nor will advanced
filter. Either would give you a list of all entries, but only show each
entry one time (thus a list of unique entries, but not onetime entries).
You would then need to use countif to see how many times each item in the
"unique" list is actually a unique/single entry in the original list.

But,
since you don't have a list of all the entries in the sweepstakes, then
there is no way you can extract anything. What are you hoping to
accomplish? I don't see Excel playing any role in you efforts, so being
novice should offer no impediment.

Hi, the following macro will extract unique values. The
input range is Rng1 and the output range is Rng2.

Sub ListUniqueVal()

Dim Rng1 As Range
Dim Rng2 As Range
Dim Cell As Range
Dim UniqueValues As New Collection

Set Rng1 = Range("B4:C10")
Set Rng2 = Range("E4")
On Error Resume Next
For Each Cell In Rng1
UniqueValues.Add Cell.Value, CStr(Cell.Value)
Next Cell

For Each Item In UniqueValues
Rng2.Value = Item
Set Rng2 = Rng2.Offset(1, 0)
Next Item

End Sub
