Thanks Ron,
That works fine when I place a comma in front of initial entry,
otherwhise, first number appears in the result and then the remaining
ones appear in sorted order.

Sorry about that. The conversion of text to numbers, the way I wrote it,
leaves out the 0th element of the array. So that was always remaining as a
text string and getting sorted to the end.

Here's another version that should take care of that issue, and give a
numerically sorted output, with text at the end:

====================================
Option Explicit
Function UniqueNos(str As String) As String
Dim Temp, Temp2
Dim i As Integer, j As Integer

Temp = Split(str, ",")
ReDim Temp2(0)
Bubblesrt Temp

Temp2(0) = Temp(0)
j = 0

For i = 1 To UBound(Temp)
If Temp(i) Temp(i - 1) Then
j = j + 1
ReDim Preserve Temp2(j)
Temp2(j) = Temp(i)
End If
Next i

For j = 0 To UBound(Temp2)
Temp2(j) = IIf(IsNumeric(Temp2(j)), Val(Temp2(j)), Temp2(j))
Next j
Bubblesrt Temp2

UniqueNos = Join(Temp2, ",")

End Function

Function Bubblesrt(TempArray As Variant)
Dim Temp As Variant
Dim i As Integer
Dim NoExchanges As Integer

' Loop until no more "exchanges" are made.
Do
NoExchanges = True

' Loop through each element in the array.
For i = 0 To UBound(TempArray) - 1

' If the element is greater than the element
' following it, exchange the two elements.
If TempArray(i) TempArray(i + 1) Then
NoExchanges = False
Temp = TempArray(i)
TempArray(i) = TempArray(i + 1)
TempArray(i + 1) = Temp
End If
Next i
Loop While Not (NoExchanges)

End Function
===========================

Ron,
This is absolutely perfect...

Thanks a lot...

Happy New Year...
