    Create a list of items

    Hi there, i'm looking for an alternative way of creating a list of unique items from a specific column.

    Say for instance i have in column B a list of fruits

    Apple
    Orange
    Apple
    Grape
    Banana
    Orange
    Pear
    Strawberry
    Apple
    Apple
    Grape
    Banana
    Orange
    Pear
    Strawberry
    etc etc

    I know i can create a unique list using a pivot table in column C - but is there a better (quicker, less memory using) way to do this with code?

    For instance the list would return 9(n column C)

    Apple
    Banana
    Grape
    Orange
    Pear
    Strawberry
