In A1:A1000 I have cells with text and blank cells. Texts are often
repeated.

I would like in B1:B1000 all texts appearing at the top, without any
duplicates, blanl at the bottom.

What formula should I use in B1:B1000 ?

Thank you

Is it possible that B1:B1000 appear already sorted?

v,

You can do this with three columns of formulas.

In cell B1, enter the formula

=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,A1)=1,A1,"")

In cell C1, enter the formula

=IF(B1<"",SUMPRODUCT(($B$1:$B$1000<"")*($B$1:$B$ 1000<B1)*1)+1,"")

In cell D1, enter the formula

=IF(NOT(ISERROR(MATCH(ROW(),C:C,FALSE))),INDEX(B:B ,MATCH(ROW(),C:C,FALSE)),"")

And copy all three cells down to match your list in column A

Teethless mama,

Your formula seems really interesting.
However, my range contains blank cells and I get #N/A as result.

Is there anyway to fix it?

Thanks in advance

Try this:

Give your range of data a named range called rng.

Enter this formula in B1:

=SUMPRODUCT((rng<"")/COUNTIF(rng,rng&""))

Enter this array** formula in D1 and copy down until you get blanks:

=IF(ROWS($1:1)<=B$1,INDEX(rng,SMALL(IF(rng<"",IF( ROW(rng)-MIN(ROW(rng))+1=MATCH(rng,rng,0),ROW(rng)-MIN(ROW(rng))+1)),ROWS($1:1))),"")

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER)

This formula ignore blank cells in a range, and give you the unique texts and
numbers

"uniq" is a define name range, of course no quotes

=IF(ISERR(SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(uniq<"",MATCH(uni q&"",uniq&"",0)),MATCH(uniq&"",uniq&"",0))0,ROW(I NDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(uniq)))),ROWS($1:1))),"",INDEX(u niq,SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(uniq<"",MATCH(uniq&"",u niq&"",0)),MATCH(uniq&"",uniq&"",0))0,ROW(INDIREC T("1:"&ROWS(uniq)))),ROWS($1:1))))

Une more question, if you don't mind:

Why do you add the expression &"" in your formula? for me it's a
mistery

mistery

=SUMPRODUCT((rng<"")/COUNTIF(rng,rng&""))

It prevents empty cells from causing errors in the formula.

Let's break the formula down and see what's happening. Try this experiement.

A1 = leave this cell empty
A2 = X
A3 = Y
A4 = X
A5 = 1

Enter this formula in C1 and copy down to C5:

=A1<""

Enter this formula in D1 and copy down to D5:

=COUNTIF(A$1:A$5,A1)

Enter this formula in E1 and copy down to E5:

=C1/D1

Enter this formula in F1:

=SUM(E1:E5)

As you'll see, the result is a #DIV/0! error.

Now, change the formula in D1 to:

=COUNTIF(A$1:A$5,A1&"")

Copy down to D5. See the difference?
