Is it possible to produce one unique list from two, and preferably in alphabetical order, without resorting to VBA? i.e. a formula solution.
I've attached a sample.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi,
Just list List2 under List1 in the same column, then use data filter advanced, selecting the Unique option to filter a list of unique items. Finally sort the filtered list.

Been there, done that...
I was hoping that I could populate the unique combined column with a formula which looks at column 'A' & 'B' and produces the list. I'm trying to avoid manual intervention and VBAs are disabled in the spreadsheet...
Hi Bob,
no macro, but two helper columns, two dynamic range names and two array formulae. The solution is dynamic, so you can add more items to each of your individual lists.
See attached.

That solution is absolutely stunning - much 'reputation' is being heaped upon you as we speak.
Thank you
Love this solution but I need to do this with 30+ columns. The formulas would get crazy I think.Originally Posted by teylyn

it could just be an easy adjustment that i can't see, but is there a way to make it work when the lists are on separate worksheets and not next to each other like this? thank you!
