Default create a list of unique values

Hi Bill,

You can use Advanced filter to create a new list of Unique values. In xl2007
you will find it on the Data ribbon under the Sort & Filter block. On earlier
versions select menu item Data- Filter - Advanced filter. Just follow the
prompts and ensure that you check Copy to another location option and Unique
option.

I have a list of items in a column of a spreadsheet. I want to get a new
list of items that contains every entry from the first but removes duplicate
entries. If necessary I can presort the first list to get all duplicate
entries adjacent to each other. I would like to do this with worksheet
functions. I could put the function at the top of a column then drag the
function down until I have empty cells meaning I have all entries from the
original without duplication.
