    How to List Only Non-repeating Names?

    Got a huge dataset with a list of non-repeating names. For example, among the dataset is about 1,500 names that dont repeat itself in a column. How can I isolate just that list of non-repeating names from that huge dataset?

    Hi and welcome to the forum

    If you have 2007 or later (I know your profile says 2003, but maybe you did not update it yet?) 1 quick way is to copy the full list of names to another column, then use Data/Remove Duplicates.

    If you dont have 2007, and/or if this will be a repeated process, provide a sample of your data and I will use a formula to do that for you
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools

    If it is 2003 and the data size is huge then consider Pivot Table also
