Default Identify numbers that only occur once in a column.

some only occur once and these are the ones that I want to work with

One thought - try autofiltering on a helper col
Assume data in A2 down
Put in B2: =COUNTIF(A:A,A2)
Copy down. Put a label in B1. Then do a datafilterautofilter on col B,
choose: 1, to filter out the required lines. You can copy the filtered lines
and paste it elsewhere.
