    Need macro to look for values in one column and return them once in another column

    Hello,
    I am trying to get a macro to look in a column for all the different values and then return each value once in another column.

    For example, in column B the values are B1=Item1, B2=Item3, B3=Item1, B3=Item1, B4=Item3, B5=Item2, and so on...

    In column D, I would like to return all the different values only once. For example, D1=Item1, D2=Item2, D3=Item3, and so on...

    If someone can help me with this I would appreciate it.
    Thank you!

    No macro needed. Use advanced filter (just remember to have a header above your data. If it's not there, and real data starts in B1 - add one - for instance ;-) "dummy header".
    If you really opt for the macro:

    Kaper,

    I am not sure if this is possible, but with a similar macro, can I do the same thing but across all the sheets in my workbook without having to name each sheet? The number of sheets vary and the names are always different.

    In each sheet, the data I am looking up will always be in column B.

    Thank you again
