Is there a formula to remove duplicates in a column?

The best method is to use

Data - Filter - Advance Filter and check the unique box.

Default Remove Duplicates

Hi,

In Excel 2007, you can this with the built in "Remove Duplicates" feature.
In Excel 2003, you will have to make use of a spare column.

1. Suppose the data is arranged in range D2:D50;
2. In cell E2, enter =if(countif(D2:D50,D2)1,"A",1) and copy down till E50
3. Now highlight E2:E50 and hit F5. Click on Special
4. Now under the Formulas radio button, uncheck all boxes except "Text"
5. Now Edit Row delete

HTH
