Hi
Try marking your range of header cells then DataFilterAutofilter Use the dropdown on the appropriate column to select X1 etc. -- Regards Roger Govier "Mehboob Ellahi" <Mehboob wrote in message ...

If you are trying to find X1, X2, etc then Roger gave you a good way. But
from your subject line I gather that you want to make a list, from your listing, that doesn't include any duplicates. Is that correct Here are two methods for finding duplicates in a list: Say you have a column of data that has some duplicate entries. You want to find the duplicate entries. Data is in column A starting at A1. Formula in B1 is =If(Countif(A:A,A1)=1,True,False) Drag this to bottom of table. Values appearing more than once appear as false. This can be modified easily to show dups, triplicates etc. And: Format - Conditional Formatting Formula is: =COUNTIF(A:A,A1)1 Set the format as you wish.
