Default Autofilter is Repeating

Try deleting the entire extract range and then run the macro again. If that
doesn't work, please describe the layout and the steps more thoroughly.

Thanks guys, it makes sense but now i am getting a error that says "The
extract range has a missing or illegal field name"

One more thought. If your Named Range does not include a Column Heading,
Excel is reading the top value in the list as a column heading. So it's not
exactly repeating - it's showing up as the Column Header and as an item in
the column.

Alright here is a stumper for me, hopefully you guys can help. What i have is
a list of lamptypes and how many they are per light fixture. Then i want to
sum all of them to a summary column. I have the columns with sumif's to add
only the particular lamptype chosen. What i am trying to do is use the
advancefilter in a macro.
What i want is when i get done with my huge list of lamptypes is have the
macro pick up all the unique types and display them in a list. The problem
that is occuring is that the first lamp always repeats itself for some
reason.

Here is the VB Macro script:

Sub Macro1()
'
' Macro1 Macro
' Macro recorded 12/14/2005 by Andrew Slater
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+L
'
Range("LAMPTYPE").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy,
CopyToRange:=Range( _
"AB5"), Unique:=True
End Sub

I can also send you a copy of the spreadsheet if you can really help me.
Just attach an email with your post.
