create a list of unique values
I have a list of items in a column of a spreadsheet. I want to get a new
list of items that contains every entry from the first but removes duplicate entries. If necessary I can presort the first list to get all duplicate entries adjacent to each other. I would like to do this with worksheet functions. I could put the function at the top of a column then drag the function down until I have empty cells meaning I have all entries from the original without duplication. |

Hi Bill,
You can use Advanced filter to create a new list of Unique values. In xl2007 you will find it on the Data ribbon under the Sort & Filter block. On earlier versions select menu item Data- Filter - Advanced filter. Just follow the prompts and ensure that you check Copy to another location option and Unique option. -- Regards, OssieMac "Bill Brehm " wrote: I have a list of items in a column of a spreadsheet.
