    Identifying all unique entries in a given column without array formula?

    Hi,
    I currently have an array formula to pull all unique entries into a separate column and it works like a charm
    ={(IFERROR(INDEX($E$7:$E$99999, MATCH(0,COUNTIF($O$6:O6, $E$7:$E$99999), 0)),""))}
    Is there any other way to achieve this without array formula? I'm asking because of array formulas incompatibility issues with Google Docs.
    Thanks.

    Try this:

    =IFERROR(INDEX($E$7:$E$99999,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($O$6:O6,$E$7:$E$99999),0,0),0)),"")

    Or this:

    =IFERROR(LOOKUP(2,1/(COUNTIF($O$6:O6,$E$7:$E$99999)=0),$E$7:$E$99999),"")

    Hi, to all!

    In Google Docs, you have the UNIQUE function. Just put, in one cell:
    =UNIQUE(E7:E99999)

    Blessings!
