Default Pivot table - Unique values

Hi Yossy,

Please does anyone know if I can use pivot table to bring out unique
values.
I have thousands of rows and columns with firstname, middlename and
lastname.
Some names are duplicate and I just want to bring out only unique names.


Do you just want a list of unique names?

Don't use a pivot table.

Select just the columns containing firstname, middlename and lastname, then
use Data - Filter - Advanced Filter

Check 'Copy to another location'
Check 'Unique records only'
Select a cell for the Copy to range

Done.
