I'm not really looking for only "unique" values, per se.
colE
alarm txt1
alarm txt2
alarm txt3
text1

If colE has the substring of "alarm" I would like to copy/paste to WS "RC_New"
I was thinking the advancedfilter with CriteriaRange:=Range("Alarms")
would get this for me
Is this correct?

This is a macro that will look in column a and extract all
unique items to column F. Adapt to suit

Sub makeuniquelist()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
mc = "a"
lr = Cells(Rows.Count, mc).End(xlUp).Row
With Range("A1:A" & lr)
.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterInPlace, Unique:=True
.Copy Range("F1")
Application.CutCopyMode = False
ActiveSheet.ShowAllData
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I want to copy then entire row from WS "raw_copy" to "RC_new" if the
text in column E contains a substring of "Alarms"
I was hoping this code would do it ... compiler error
Do I have a syntax problem or a logic problem THXs

Worksheets("Raw_copy").Range("E1:E" & g_var1).AdvancedFilter
Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Worksheets("RC_New").Range( _
"A1"), Unique:=False,
CriteriaRange:=Range("Alarms")
