Thanks Bob, this works fine for the ref number and name, but people do have
the same start date, any ideas?

On the second sheet

A1: = Sheet1!A1
A2: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(0,COUNTIF(A$1:A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$ 20&""),0)),"",
INDEX(IF(ISBLANK(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$20),"",Sheet1!$A$1 :$A$20),MATCH(0,COUNTIF(A$
1:A1,Sheet1!$A$1:$A$20&""),0)))

which is an array formula, it should be comnmitted with Ctrl-Shift-Enter,
not just Enter. Copy A2 down to some point beyond the last item (to cater
for extras).

I have a spreadsheet, and on the first sheet i have various client data.
To
avoid having to re-enter some of the data on sheet two, I have entered
formulas to pull it through from sheet 1. It is pulling through, ref
number,
name, and a start date. It is likely that some people could appear more
than
once, but I only want them to show once on sheet 2. I have tried to use
advanced filter, but it is looking at the formula rather than the result,
so
it is not filtering out the repeated data. Is there anything i can do to
get
round this, I have to get it finished for next week and i am starting to
panic! Please help!

Thanks
