Unique names in a list reported everyday
I have a column of names that get's updated daily. I would like to keep a tab
on unique names in the list on a daily basis. So if I look at the weekly report, I would see how the headcount increased over time. A few complications: There are three worksheets. The first one is the list of names. The second worksheet has the column that I referred to above, where users populate the cells using a drop down list that gives them names from the list on the first worksheet. The third worksheet is where I would like to report the trend of unique names, in the column in worksheet 2, over a period of time. Before I kill myself trying to figure this out, anyone has any suggestions? Much thanks! |

Does this get you to a place where you want to be?
Sub ExtractUniqueAndSort() With Sheets("Unique List") ..Range("A1:A20").AdvancedFilter _ Action:=xlFilterCopy, _ CopyToRange:=.Range("E1"), _ Unique:=True ..Range(.Range("E1"), .Range("E1").End(xlDown)) _ ..Sort Key1:=.Range("E2"), Order1:=xlAscending, Header:=xlYes End With End Sub Regards, Ryan--- "Anurag" wrote: I have a column of names that get's updated daily.

Apologies in advance but it seems like you have a VB Script that I would need to execute. Without having any background in VB Scripting in excel, would it be possible for you to elaborate on how should I execute it? I guess I should have clarified earlier. My report out is going to be monthly and I will report the number of unique names in a column for that day. Hence, there would be 30 columns for a month and as a result, 1 cell in each of those columns that I would need to populate over a period of a month.

Look at this:
http://www.mrexcel.com/tip068.shtml Copy the code I gave you. Then, with any spreadsheet active, hit Alt+F11 and then click on Insert Module and paste the code into the window that opens. Then click on Run Run Sub. Make sure you have a backup of your data before doing any of this!!! You never know when you will get unexpected results and I'm sure your data is very important.
