This method doesn't use concatenation and the results are not concatenated,
however the unique results are the same if you did concatenate them.

I think I understand this enough to make it do what I want. Thanks for
a very large help.


Sub GetUniquesAlternate()
Range("A1:B1").Insert Shift:=xlDown
Range("A1:B1").Value = _
Array("Header1", "Header2")
Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Resize(, 2) _
.AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, _
CopyToRange:=Cells(1, "C"), _
Unique:=True
Range("A1:D1").Delete Shift:=xlShiftUp
End Sub

More compact, but harder for me to do more processing. Thanks again.

All in all, if I could be any animal, I would want to be
a duck or a goose. They can fly, walk, and swim. Plus,
there there is a certain satisfaction knowing that at the
end of your life you will taste good with an orange sauce
or, in the case of a goose, a chestnut stuffing.
