You don't need a Criteria Range.

Just enter the List Range of $b$4:$b$3196

Leave Criteria Range blank.

The sole Criterion is "unique records"

Thanks Gord,
I'm still have a problem:
My objective is that I want to eliminate records with consective last
names.
Last Name is in column B.

I click on Data, Filter, Advanced Filter and enter:
1. $b$4:$b$3196
2. $b$4:$b$3196
(The last name is n column B, the first record is number 4. The last
record
is number 3196)

I still get records with duplicate Last Names..

Will you please straighten me out?
Thanks again,
Doug

DataFilterAdvanced Filter.

Check "Unique records" and copy to another location.

Is there some way to delete rows that have duplicate data in one column.
For instance, I have an address list including the whole family.
I would like to delete suceeding rows and leave the first one in that
family.

Thanks,
Doug
