v,

You can do this with three columns of formulas.

In cell B1, enter the formula

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)=1,A1,"")

In cell C1, enter the formula

=IF(B1<"",SUMPRODUCT(($B$1:$B$1000<"")*($B$1:$B$ 1000<B1)*1)+1,"")

In cell D1, enter the formula

=IF(NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(ROW(),C:C,FALSE))),INDEX(B:B ,MATCH(ROW(),C:C,FALSE)),"")

And copy all three cells down to match your list in column A

In A1:A1000 I have cells with text and blank cells. Texts are often
repeated.

I would like in B1:B1000 all texts appearing at the top, without any
duplicates, blanl at the bottom.

What formula should I use in B1:B1000 ?

Thank you

A B
1 ABC ABC
2 XYZ XYZ
3 GHT GHT
4 GHT
5

Is it possible that B1:B1000 appear already sorted?
