Default Array formula for unique entries

The John Walkenbach method:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$100,SMALL(IF(MATCH($A$1:$A$100,$A$1 :$A
$100,0)=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS($A$1:$A$100))),MATC H($A$1:$A$100,$A$1:$A
$100,0),""),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS($A$1:$A$100)))) )

In this case you're working with the range $A$1:$A$100, whereas
generally you would have an expanding named range and a bit of error
checking.

Dear Experts,
I know how to filter a list of data for unique entries using the advanced
filter however I want to have it happen without user intervention.


Can I use an array formula to pick out unique entries from a predetermined
list and display them in adjacent columns?
