    Formula or VBA code to remove duplicates

    Hi guys,

    I have a set of text in rows which includes duplicates like this:

    Column A
    Text 1
    Text2
    Text1
    Text500
    Text500

    I then need to remove the duplicates and put them in column B. I normally use the remove duplicates button in Excel to do this but seeing as I have to do this task every day, I was hoping there would be either a formula or VBA solution which automatically does this? Can someone help me please?

    Thanks

    just use record macro in the dev tab when you do it and set a shortcut
    Sub Reputation()
    Dim Problem as Variant
    Dim Reputation as Integer
    For Each Problem in Forum.Threads
        If Problem.Title = "*[Solved]*" and Solver.Name = "Leon V (AW)" Then Reputation = Reputation + 1
    Next Problem
    End Sub

    thanks for the advice. I could do this but I'd still have to run the macro every time. I want it so that as soon as I paste in the data, the data is populated in a different column without duplicates. is this possible?

    you could attach it to the worksheet_change() event.
    or you could record the paste as part of the macro and set the sortcut as Ctrl+V
