eliminating duplicate lines
Hi.
I have a spreadsheet of all my purchases. Each row is a separate purchase and has the vendor name and other info. I would like to create a list that shows each vendor name only once. I am not interested in the other data, just a list of each vendor name. In effect, if I have 10 rows of purchases from vendor abc and 5 from vendor 123, I want an alphabetical list that shows vendors 123 and abc only once. Any ideas? Thanks John |

Two ways:
Use an advanced filter. Debra Dalgleish explains how clearly on her excellent Contextures site: http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html Or, select all the data and create a pivot table with vendor as the row field (you only have to go that far in creating it to get a unique vendor list). After you finish creating the table, copy & paste it in place as values. Hope this helps, Hutch "JohnnyJomp" wrote: Hi. I have a spreadsheet of all my purchases.
