    Return the unique data from a list

    I am looking to extract the different hole sizes from this list. I need it to return 311 / 222 / 156 from Column C.
    Is there a way to do this?

    Re: Return the unique data from a list

    That works great, but I need it to do it automatically, this page is a "data base" page that is updated from other pages. That being said, is it possible to do? If it were to return each value to its own separate cell then I can combine them using &"/"&.
    Thanks

    Ha! Thought I could figure it out, I couldn't...
    Can you take a look I have your formula in column P, I want the unique values from column C returned, similar to your example. Just to note column C may have only one value, but could have as many as 10 or anywhere in between.

    just slight look underlined..it should be in P1:P1 not in P2:P2

    =IFERROR(INDEX($C$2:$C$11,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($P$1:P1,$C$2:$C$11),0,0),0)),"") -array entered.

    No need array entered. Normally Enter will do.
