I have a column of values starting in A2, Sheet 1. These values repeat and
are not unique. I want column B2 to have a single occurrence of each cell
in column A.

As an example, here's what I'm looking for:

Sheet1:
Col A Col B
============
brown brown
blue blue
black black
orange orange
black red
black
brown
blue
blue
red
blue

Thanks in advance,

Alan L. Wagoner

you know you can use the built in filter function in excel, and then
you wouldnt need to use vba?

Yeah, I know, but I need to programmatically create those sheets, because I
have VBA code that will populate them. Right now, I have to manually create
them, and I'd rather have that process automated.

Alan,

Very simple using built-in functionality

Columns("A:A").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CopyToRange:=Range("B1"), _
Unique:=True

Note that with Bob's approach it repeats the first unique entry twice.

Not if he has headings, which he should do <g
