    Formula to summeries text and make a list automatically

    Hi There,

    Hope someone can help with this, I want a single text field to be generated from a list of many repetitive texts.

    For example rather than it be;

    Hello
    Hello
    Hey
    Hey
    Hey
    Hi
    Hi

    It comes out as

    Hello
    Hey
    Hi

    To put this in to practice in the attached spread sheet you will see the range column from A6 onward states what range each product is in. Then a single copy of each of these ranges are repeated in C118 and C126.

    So where the ranges are in C118 AND C126 I want to know is it possible for excel to find and summaries these from the A column without me having to type any specific words? Or can it know when the first of a new text filled is added to then add one to C118 and C126?

    Hope that makes sense and someone can help.

    Many thanks,
    Richard

    Try this formula in C118:C122
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    Similarly try this formula in C126:C129
    Formula: copy to clipboard
    Please Login or Register  to view this content.

    You will notice that both return 3 derivations of 'cornbury' as A6 has the entry 'conrbury' and A10 has an extra space after the y. After those two discrepancies are cleared up the list should appear as it does in the sample file.
    Let us know if you have any questions.
