I have a list with item repeated more than once:
item A
item A
item B

item C

in the next column i would like to list all the items once only
item A
item B
item C

how can i do that?

Default sort list

Hi

Your easiest option to achieve this would be to use Advanced Filter -
Select your range (ie A1:A100 or whatever) and go DataFilterAdvanced
Filter. In the dialog that opens, select "Copy To Another Location",
check "Unique Records Only", and seletc a destination for your unique
records (eg B1).

Hope this helps!

Give the destination range and check unique records

Hi

One way
Insert a row above your data. Type in a Header e.g. List
Mark the block of data including header, then
DataFilterAdvanced FilterCopy to choose your next columnclick
Unique items

No, that's what happens if the list does not have a header.
Put a header in, even if you delete the row after you have carried out
the Advanced Filter.
