how to extract unique numbers once from a list of repeated numbers?
 

Hi,

I have an Excel question. I have a column of repeated numbers with no
pattern in terms of how many times a number shows up.

372
372
579
579
579
579
63
63
63
8
....

It always goes in this fashion: a shown number will only repeat after
itself or it won't repeat at all (e.g., 579 will only repeat after 579,
otherwise it won't repeat at all).

How do I extract the unique numbers from this column in a separate
column, such that the answer is:

372
579
63
8
....

Thank you,
Stuart

If this is something you have to do frequently, I would recommend Jim Cone's
fine commercial Add-in called XL Companion. It's available at ...
