    Excel "Unique(Filter" function with a Wildcard Variable

    Hi all,

    I am trying to use the excel Unique(Filter function to return a unique list of values but, the variable can alter slightly in name. I have tried the below for a wildcard search but it is coming up with a #calc error.

    Can you use the formula without looking for a specific text?

    =UNIQUE(FILTER('Sheet1'!T:T,('Sheet1'Import!A:A="*"&Test&"*")))
    =UNIQUE(FILTER('Sheet1'!T:T,('Sheet1'Import!A:A="*Test*")))

    Re: Excel "Unique(Filter" function with a Wildcard Variable

    For a start, your nomenclature here is wrong:

    'Sheet1'Import!

    It might need to be

    'Sheet1'!

    or
    'Sheet1Import'

    or
    'Import'!

    So, please read the yellow banner (top) and attach a SMALL sample sheet.
