    Question Separating unique values from a list

    I have a column full of unique values but many of them are repeating. I am looking for a quick way to make a list of each of the unique values and not include the repeating values.

    For example I have the following in column A:

    ABC
    ABC1
    ABC2
    ABC3
    ABC
    ABC3
    ABC2
    ABC1

    I want to make a separate list in column B with only the unique values of the original list. So it would look like:

    ABC
    ABC1
    ABC2
    ABC3

    Thank you much!

    Nick

    1) Make sure there is a "title" at the top of this column the values starting in the second row
    2) Highlight all the data including the title
    3) Select Data > Filter > Advanced Filter
    4) Use the settings:
    [x] Copy to another location
    Copy To: (click on your target cell)
    [x] Unique Values Only
