    Create list of Unique values based on Worksheet Data

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a worksheet with a whole bunch of locations in it (they all appear multiple times )
    I would like to create a list of each location ( appearing just once ) to build a lookup table from.

    Can someone help me with the quicket and easiest way to do this?

    Thank you.

    1) Highlight the column of values
    2) Activate the Data > Filter > Advanced Filter
    3) Copy to another location > Unique Values only

    todmac,

    You could use AdvancedFilter Unique.

    If column D had a title locations, you could highlite column D

    Click on Data

    Filter

    Advanced Filter…

    Click on the radio button Copy to another location

    In the Copy to: box type in N1

    where N1 is an available blank column

    click on the box for Unique records only

    And, click on the OK button.

    There is your unique list of locations.
    Have a great day,
