Default filtering unique data


Hi,
I agree with Bob, & have a few ideas/questions which may help identify
what the data problem is:

*Firstly, when you use the DataFilterAdvanced Filter option, make
sure you are only selecting column A (ie just the part number column,
not columns A to C) as your "List Range".
*Do you know that it will always show the first appearance of a value
(ooopps, looks like you do from your original post)?

*Are any/none of the "duplicate" rows hidden?
*If you identify two of the visible "duplicates", find any empty cell &
enter (for example):
=A1=A3
Is the result "true"?
If not, it may be due to non printing characters in one of the cells.
One way of checking this is using =len(a1)=len(a3), if this is not
true, there is something in the cell that can't be seen. It may be
possilbe to fix using the trim function.
