Thanks for the feedback.......
I'm glad that worked for you
(I'm pretty sure that formula has Harlan Grove's fingerprints on it)

Works great. I'm analyzing your formulas.

Try something like this:

For a list entered into A2:A20, with A1 as the column heading

Then
B1: (Heading for the column....eg MyList)
B2: =INDEX(A2:A20,MATCH(0,-ISBLANK(A2:A20),0))

Array Formula (Committed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, instead of just Enter)
B3:
=IF(COUNT(MATCH(A$2:A$20,B$2:B2,0))<COUNT(1/(A$2:A$20<"")),INDEX(A$2:A$20,MATCH(0,(A$2:A$20< "")-ISNA(MATCH(A$2:A$20,B$2:B2,0)),0)),"")

Copy B3 into B4 and down through as many cells as you need to cover all
possible unique items

With that formula, each time you enter new text that is not already listed,
it will display in the list in B1:??.

Is that something you can work with?

I remember a user once outlined a formula on this forum, but I can't find it
now.
