    Get rid of duplicates in an comma array in one cell

    Current contents of a cell:
    10, 10, 100, 10, 100, 10, 100, 100

    Would like to eliminate duplicates and get
    10,100
    Do this automatically without running a filter. Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks, Marie

    Doing this via a formula would be tough.

    My suggestion is:
    1. Text to columns using comma delimiter
    2. Copy results of above
    3. Paste Special > Transpose
    4. Advance Filter for unique values using the option to copy to another location

    Do you know . . . ?

    Hi, Thanks but I was looking for something to be able to strip out the duplicates with a function. Don't want to do it manually.
