    Post Return only unique text from another sheet along with correlating minimum and maximum

    I am a new member to the forum, and could really use some help.

    I have, on one sheet, a list of incumbent employees that includes the following columns: Job Title [text] and Salary [number].

    I am trying to automatically populate a second sheet with columns designating: A list of each unique job title (no duplicates), the maximum salary corresponding to each unique job title, and the minimum salary corresponding to each unique job title.

    Any ideas, or links to references that could help me?

    Lastly, I'm an attorney dealing with confidential client data, so I'll have to go through a lot of trouble to post an example... but I'll do it if necessary. Thanks for your help!!!

    Pivot tables is probably your best bet...

    I fail to see how a pivot table can solve this problem. Thanks, though
