Combine Two Arrays Into One. Tough.
I have a function that alphabetizes an array of text:
I also have a function that eliminates dupes
I'm wondering if I can combine the two
Try these...
Does not work if there are empty cells within the range.
Data in the range A1:A10.
Enter this array formula** in C1:
=INDEX(A1:A10,MATCH(0,COUNTIF(A1:A10,"<"&A1:A10),0 ))
Enter this array formula** in C2 and copy down to C10:
=IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A$10,""&C1),INDEX(A$1:A$10,MATCH( COUNTIF(A$1:A$10,"<="&C1),COUNTIF(A$1:A$10,"<"&A$1 :A$10),0)),"")
** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

=INDEX($A$1:$A$10,MATCH(ROW(A1),COUNTIF($A$1:$A$10 ,"<="&$A$1:$A$10),))
CSE-entered
I also have a function that eliminates dupes:
=IF(ISERR(SMALL(IF(MATCH($A$10:$A$16,$A$10:$A$16,0 )=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS($A$10:$A$16))),MATCH($A$1 0:$A$16,$A$10:$A$16,0)),ROWS($10:10))),"",INDEX($A $10:$A$16,SMALL(IF(MATCH($A$10:$A$16,$A$10:$A$16,0 )=ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS($A$10:$A$16))),MATCH($A$1 0:$A$16,$A$10:$A$16,0)),ROWS($10:10))))
CSE-entered
Now, I'm wondering if I can combine the two. That will take some hack
work.
Also, I'm wondering how much this will slow down the workbook. There are
about 8-9 sheets in there and an array formula like this will probably
make
the thing crawl, right. Anyway, my question is how do I combine there two
arrays?
Thanks,
