That's a good one that I'll need to remember, but doesn't address my problem.
The sample is 60. This means that I tell Excel to select 60. And the
resulting 60 may have only 40 unique items. I need the whole sample to be
unique.

Thanks for you help, tho.

If your general ledger account numbers are in a column, first make sure the
column has a header cell at the top. Select the header cell and pull-down:

Data Filter Advanced Filter... and check unique records only

This will remove duplicates. Just take any 60 of the resulting items.

Good Luck

solution?
