In other words, you want a list of the distinct numbers from column F.

Assume you want the numbers listed starting in cell H2.

Cell H1 is the column header.

Enter this formula in H2 and copy down until you get blanks:

rng = your actual range like F2:F200

=IF(ROWS(H$1:H1)<=COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(rng,rng)),SMALL(rng,SUMPRODUCT(COUNTIF(r ng,H$1:H1))+1),"")

This will list the numbers in ascending order.

Biff,

Sorry for any confusion, should not written that last statement
"depending
on some other criteria".

All I really need is something that will find each new occurence in the
number in col F.

What do you mean by: depending on some other criteria? What other
criteria?

The other information that is on eiterh side of my number, I use
other
formulas to locate. What I'm needing is a formula that will find
the
first
occurence each time the number changes.

Example: In col F cell 2 my number is 1480000770, then in cell 32
same
column the number changes to 1485555691. So I want a formula that

So, does this mean you want the cell address for the first instance
of
this
number?

with additional information on either side of this number

I assume that means this info is in different cells on either side
of
the
number.

A1 = number

=ADDRESS(MATCH(A1,F:F,0),COLUMNS(A1:F1),4)

In col F cell 2, I have a number that is ten characters long, and
this
number
could remain the same for up to 20 or 30 rows with additional
information
on
either side of this number, but then this number will change to a
different
number (number will always be ten characters long) for up to the
same
20
or
30 rows, this format will continue for about another 200 rows or
so.

So what I am needing is a formula that will locate the first
occurence
of
this number, so that I can then access the remaining portion of
this
information.
