    consolidate txt from multiple columns into one column & remove duplicates

    I have a worksheet with two columns of names. Some of the names appear more than once. Is there a formula (not a macro) which can consolidate all of the names into one column, and remove duplicates?

    I've attached a worksheet as an example.

    Thanks!

    Please try

    =UNIQUE(FILTERXML("<x><m>"&TEXTJOIN("</m><m>",,TRANSPOSE(A4:B59))&"</m></x>","//m"))

    or
    =FILTERXML("<x><m>"&TEXTJOIN("</m><m>",,TRANSPOSE(A4:B59))&"</m></x>","//m[not(preceding::*=.)]")

    Thank You! Second formula works. I'd never used filterxml before!
