Hi everyone,

I have a list with several thousand numbers (cancer morphology codes, many
repeats) with their corresponding text name in the adjacent column. How can I
delete all the repeats in the worksheet and be left with one of each number?

Example...This is what I have now (no header column, data sorted by Column
A, ascending values)

A B
1 8001 xxxxxx
2 8001 xxxxxx
3 8002 yyyyyy
4 8002 yyyyyy
5 8002 yyyyyy
6 8003 zzzzzz
7 8003 zzzzzz

and this is what I would like to end up with...

A B
1 8001 xxxxxx
2 8002 yyyyyy
3 8003 zzzzzz

Any suggestions?

Thanks for everyones help.
