Thanks for the help... But let me clarify....

the data is not in 1 column...i want to copy distinct rows of data.....

e.g. i have three (or more) sheets

Sheet1 -

A B C D
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
5 6 7 8

and sheet2 -

A B C D
8 9 10 11
5 6 7 8
12 13 14 15

the result i want to compile in say sheet3 should be

A B C D
1 2 3 4
5 6 7 8
8 9 10 11
12 13 14 15

thereafter using vlookup i can get the sales figure in col E....
now i would like the data in sheet3 to automatically get sorted on the
sales figures in col E.

Plz note that i would be adding data to new sheets...all of which should be
compiled in sheet3

any of the column in sheet 1 or 2 might contain a blank cell

Hope you could help me yet again...

Regards

Data=Filter=Advanced filter has the option of getting a list of unique
values.

It is also supported by VBA code.

I turned on the macro recorder and executed the actions manually, and got
this:

Sub Macro1()
Range("A1:A56").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
Range("A1:A56").AdvancedFilter _
Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CopyToRange:=Range("G1"), _
Unique:=True
Range("G1").Select
Selection.Sort Key1:=Range("G2"), _
Order1:=xlAscending, _
Header:=xlGuess, _
OrderCustom:=1, _
MatchCase:=False, _
Orientation:=xlTopToBottom
End Sub

You should be able to generalize it to do what you want. You can copy to
another sheet.

I have data in some sheets (the same data can be repeated in different
sheets)..I want to compile distinct records from these worksheets into
another sheet...prefereably using vba code.

I do not want to use a formula...since once i get the distinct data...i
want
to use vlookup to get sales figures and then sort the data on sales...

I also want that the data automatically gets sorted in the compiled sheet
in
desc order.

Plz help.
