I have a column of names and in the column there are 20 rows saying
"apples"
and 10 rows saying "oranges" and 5 rows of "bannanas". I would like to
produce a report that pulls only the name i.e. "apples", which would then
allow me to produce a consolidated list of names. This would mean that I
would end up with 3 rows one saying "apples", one saying "oranges and one
saying "bannanas".
