Default Unique cells in a row

You can use filteradvanced filter, copy to another location and select
unique records only.
If you have Excel 2007 it has a built in functionality called remove
duplicates

Hi all,

I have a need to select and store unique cell contents in a large number
of
rows. I guess I would like a formula that looks something like
=unique(a2:a22,","," ") where the information I would to test is in cells
a2
through a22, seperate the contents of the unique cell contents, and ignore
cells containing " ".

supl1 supl2 supl3 supl4 supl5 Unique
order1 aa aa ab cd aa,ab,ac
order2 aa aa aa aa
order3 cd ab ef dd cd,ab,ef,dd

And so on. I expect something like this could be built using VB, but I am
VB challenged. I wonder if there is already such a function or where I
might
go to get some help building one?

As always, thanks so much for your help.
