Formula to summarize data
I should have mentioned that I want a formula that would automatically update
the summarized list. I need a solution that would be totally transparent to the user. Thanks "Gord Dibben" wrote: DataFilterAdvanced Filter. Copy "unique records only" to another place.

Formula to summarize data
Say you anticipate the range of A1 to A200 will eventually be used for this
materials list, and you're looking to make a unique list in Column B. In B1 enter: =A1 In B2 enter this *array* formula: =IF(ISERROR(MATCH(0,COUNTIF(B$1:B1,$A$1:$A$200&"") ,0)),"",INDEX(IF(ISBLANK( $A$1:$A$200),"",$A$1:$A$200),MATCH(0,COUNTIF(B$1:B 1,$A$1:$A$200&""),0))) -- Array formulas must be entered with CSE, <Ctrl <Shift <Enter, instead of the regular <Enter, which will *automatically* enclose the formula in curly brackets, which *cannot* be done manually. Also, you must use CSE when revising the formula. *After* the CSE entry, copy down as far as needed. -- HTH, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "tomhelle" wrote in message ...
