You need to reference the project to the microsoft scripting runtime to make
this code work...

Select a range of cells and then just run the code. It will create a new
sheet with all of the unique items from the selected range.

Private Sub GetUniqueItems()
Dim cell As Range 'Current cell in range to check
Dim rngToSearch As Range 'Cells to be searched
Dim dic As Scripting.Dictionary 'Dictionary Object
Dim dicItem As Variant 'Items within dictionary object
Dim wks As Worksheet 'Worksheet to populate with
unique items
Dim rngPaste As Range 'Cells where unique items are
placed

Application.ScreenUpdating = False
'Create range to be searched
Set rngToSearch = Intersect(ActiveSheet.UsedRange, Selection)
If rngToSearch Is Nothing Then Set rngToSearch = ActiveCell

'Confirm there is a relevant range selected
If Not rngToSearch Is Nothing Then
'Create dictionay object
Set dic = New Scripting.Dictionary

'Populate dictionary object with unique items (use key to define
unique)
For Each cell In rngToSearch 'Traverse selected range
If Not dic.Exists(cell.Value) And cell.Value < Empty Then
'Check the key
dic.Add cell.Value, cell.Value 'Add the item if unique
End If
Next

If Not dic Is Nothing Then 'Check for dictionary
Set wks = Worksheets.Add 'Create worksheet to populate
Set rngPaste = wks.Range("A1") 'Create range to populate
For Each dicItem In dic.Items 'Loop through dictionary
rngPaste.NumberFormat = "@" 'Format cell as text
rngPaste.Value = dicItem 'Add items to new sheet
Set rngPaste = rngPaste.Offset(1, 0) 'Increment paste range
Next dicItem
'Clean up objects
Set wks = Nothing
Set rngPaste = Nothing
Set dic = Nothing
End If
End If
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

First of all thanks for the response...

Well, I have never used a dictionary object, but I am more than willing
to take a look at them and see how they work and what they can do. As
far as the pivot tables are concerned, this is only one portion of a
much larger project, an I was hoping to keep the intermediate steps (as
this one is) out of the worksheets. Also, the length of the list will
always be different, and I have never messed with dynamic ranges for
pivot tables. But if it can be done, once again, I am open to try it.
That is why I wanted to post it the board so that I could get some ideas
from others who may have done this same thing.

And yes I would like to see your code.
