Default REPORTING unique values

You can't read? I told her to use advanced filter


"You can use advanced filter which has a built in way, select the list, then
select unique records only then copy to another location. Excel 2007 has a
built in method for this called remove duplicates?"


I thought perhaps it would be easier to select a range and apply filter to
get the values but of course there are ways using a formula

=IF(ISNA(MATCH(0,COUNTIF($C$1:C1,$B$5:$B$15),0))," ",INDEX($B$5:$B$15,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($C$1:C1,$B$5:$B $15),0)))

entered with ctrl + shift & enter

Where $C$1:C1 is the cell above the cell with the formula, adapt accordingly

Use this instead

=SUMPRODUCT((B5:B15<"")/COUNTIF(B5:B15,B5:B15&""))


that will not return an error if all cells are empty

Can you post the syntax for using the remove duplicates method?
