Afternoon,
I have a list of 2400 items which I need to extract unique values from. I have this formula:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$3:$B$2402, ISTEXT(MATCH(0,COUNTIF($D$2:D2, $B$3:$B$2402), 0))),"")
which works, but pulls all unique values when I need only those unique values that contain text (at the beginning) and not a whole number. For example, MF0105, DS5680, CFT253
Can I add an function to this to ignore purely numerical results?
Much appreciated.

Is your forum profile up-to-date? Still using Excel 2010?
There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.
A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.
