    Lightbulb HELP to edit a complex dynamic array formula for unique records from specific headers

    Hi All

    Need to edit a complex dynamic array formula to have unique records for specific headers from a database(20000 rows of data) original data (dummy)

    First I have obtained this formula from a blog and am not well acquainted with to edit it.

    See annexed sheet blog formula as the original formula has been written to have a clear view

    I do think there is a concatenation required from header A to F with ampersand and match in the formula.

    Target aim the whole row headers A TO F only should have unique records on dynamic sheet as annexed


    Thanks those who can help to adjust formula,macros are also welcome.

    Sorry but I don't understand what you are trying to do.

    Would you explain what you are starting with and where it is, and manually add what the end result should be. Then clearly state what rules / thought processes you have applied in order to derive the results from the original data.

    Re: HELP to edit a complex dynamic array formula for unique records from specific headers

    ok the original datasheet is a database with lot of data


    my concern is from COLUMN A TO F, the other is irrelevant to send to specific parties .

    Column A,B,C AND F are always the same but column D AND E ,the data change dynamically following tests.

    Thus my expectation is to have a dynamic unique records row list. as shown on dynamic sort sheet. with the number of count records.

    So on a blog I have copy a sample of this formula to apply column C unique description as seen sample blog sheet with formula in column c but it applies only to one column only

    So I would like to adjust same formula on dynamic sort sheet for column A TO F taking the data from original data column A TO F.

    IN essence,have unique row records of column A TO F of original data sheet into dynamic sort sheet.

    Why because the database changes every hour. so I have to maintain unique records and sent to other parties with only requested data as other data are sensitive.

    Thanks if you could help

    If this is indeed a continuation of your original problem, here is your original file with formulae to to extract unique records for the columns desired.
    The first step was to concatenate the columns A:F in column AH. || was used as a separator because it was highly unlikely that this would appear in the original data.

    Unique values from column AH were then brought forward into Sheet1 column A with this formula:

    The data in column A was then separated from the concatenated data with this formula: Enter in B2 and fill down.
    Formula: copy to clipboard

    The rest of the columns were separated into columns with this formula entered in C2 and filled across and down.

    Column A can be hidden so that only the unique records are displayed.
    If you want data sorted in order, sort the ORIGINAL DATA and the unique data will be automatically sorted to match.
