Default selecting unique items

You need to have a header above your column for the following method
to work, so if you don't have one then insert a new row 1 and enter
"Countries" in A1.

Highlight all your data (plus heading) in column 1, then click on Data
| Filter | Advanced Filter - in the pop-up you should select Unique
Records Only as well as Copy to Another Location and in the Copy To
box put C1 (or some other reference if you have data in column C
already).

Then click OK and you will have your unique list in column C.

Hope this helps.
