You're welcome.
Taking up your additional question, it looks like you want to create a
list of distinct items.
Let A3:A15 house the letters sample you provided.
In B1 enter: 0
which is required.
In B2 enter the label: Idx
In B3 enter & copy down:
=IF(A3<"",IF(ISNA(MATCH(A3,$A$2:A2,0)),LOOKUP(9.9 9999999999999E+307,$B$1:B2)+1,""),"")
In D1 enter:
=LOOKUP(9.99999999999999E+307,B3:B15)
In D3 enter & copy down:
=IF(ROW()-ROW($D$3)+1<=$D$1,LOOKUP(ROW()-ROW($D$3)+1,$B$3:$B$15,$A$3:$A$15),"")
The desired list will appear in D from D3 on.
The foregoing, I'd like to add, is a pretty fast formula system.

Awesome! I really appreciate the help!
I've got one more thing I was trying to do, and I was hoping I'd be
able to figure out how to do it from your code, but no such luck. :p
Ok, let's say I have a column: Thar Be Letters Here,
A,B,C,A,A,C,D,E,G,G,F,H,D
What I want to do is capture what letters appeared in what order, but
ONLY the first occurence of that letter (kinda like a top 10 thing
going on). So, I want to output:
Another Column,A,B,C,D,E,G,F,H
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
