    Confused.....cells B7 & B10 are duplicated values.

    Do you mean something else when you say "remove duplicated values"?

    I thought I saw a pattern 'till I saw "fnal cuttings" only once in column B.

    Hi spa,

    This is not possible through formula, you have to take help of VBA.

    Thanks

    Re: [HELP] me to remove duplicate values and leave that cell as blank

    Excel restricts us to a character limit. How this impacts the COUNTIF function I cannot say.

    While I cannot name that limit cell A1 has 889 characters.

    This seems excessively long and I suspect that is the source of this problem. Unfortunately I do not know how to work around this.....perhaps a VBA solution or some other alternative will be offered.

    Sorry I could not assist you further.
