    Using a formula to remove duplicates?

    Hi folks,

    Please see sheet attached.
    In column A i want to paste a list.
    In column B i need it to use a formula to remove any duplicates from this list
    In column C i need it to count how many of this unique entries are contained in Column A.

    Is it possible to use a formula to scan Column A and paste a unique list in column B

    Hi Manolis.

    In B2 and copy down use this.

    =IF(INDEX($A$2:$A$100,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($B$1:B1,$A$2:$A$100),0,0),0))=0,"",INDEX($A$2:$A$100,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($B$1:B1,$A$2:$A$100),0,0),0)))

    In C2

    =COUNTIF(A:A,B2)
    Regards
