Default How to filter Unique values from Duplicates

Hi,

I have a table where one of the columns contain names of Coalfields but the column contains duplicate names.

I would like to make a separate column containing only unique names of the coalfields, sourced from the mother column.

Thanks for the help

San

try Advanced Filter without duplicates or copy your column to another
place and run Delete Dupicates

your data is in column A. Then e.g. in C1:
=A1
in C2:
=IFERROR(INDEX(A:A,MATCH(1,(COUNTIF(C$1:C1,A$1:A$5 00)=0)*(A$1:A$500<""),0)),"")
Insert the array formula with CTRL+Shift+Enter and copy down till the
cell remain blank

with the COUNTIF statement the values existing above the formula will be
ignored. And together with the part A$1:A$500<"" and the Match
statement the next value is found in A:A

Default How to filter unique values from duplicates in excel

In Excel, there are several ways to filter for unique values—or remove duplicate values:

To filter for unique values, click Data Sort & Filter Advanced.
Follow these steps:

Select the range of cells, or ensure that the active cell is in a table.

Click Data Advanced (in the Sort & Filter group).
In the Advanced Filter popup box, do one of the following:

To filter the range of cells or table in place:

Click Filter the list, in-place.

To copy the results of the filter to another location:

Click Copy to another location.

In the Copy to box, enter a cell reference.

Alternatively, click Collapse Dialog Button image to temporarily hide the popup window, select a cell on the worksheet, and then click Expand Button image .

Check the Unique records only, then click OK.

To highlight unique or duplicate values, use the Conditional Formatting command in the Style group on the Home tab.

I hope this is helpful!
