    How to distinguish between case and ignore #N/A and empty values, and extract unique items

    How to distinguish between case and ignore #N/A values and empty values, and extract unique items

    Ranges A1:E20

    The difference between uppercase and lowercase letters, and the order of the characters with the difference between uppercase and lowercase is not fixed, there are #N/A values and empty values in the search range

    Column H is the result. The order may not follow mine, as long as the result can be obtained.





    Can someone please help me ? It would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

    First of all, I have to explain. At the time, I was successful when I POST. Later, how did I search for the post again and disappeared. I have tried 5 to 6 times, and I uploaded it after confirming that there was none.

    You could have found it via the My Posts link above. And you have just posted to it, so it clearly did not disappear.

    H2=INDIRECT(TEXT(MIN(IF((ISERROR(FIND($A$1:$E$20,CONCAT(H$1:H1))))*(NOT(ISERROR($A$1:$E$20))),ROW($A$1:$E$20)*10+COLUMN($A$1:$E$20),11111)),"R00C0"),)&""
