Cell A contains a value, via a Vlookup it is checked if the value already exists or if it is a new value.
If the value is new I would like that the value from cell A is added to the list and that it is done over and over if a new value is entered in Cell A.
Not sure if this is possible in excel but wanted to try anyway.
Thank you
Hi JBTu and welcome to the forum,
It sounds like you are looking for the IfError() formula.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...6-63f3e417f611
The second part would be a formula.
Without a workbook as an example it is hard to suggest much more.
One test is worth a thousand opinions.

Are you open to a VBA solution?
Old execl version
B1
=IF(ROWS($A$1:A1)<=SUM(IF($A$1:$A$100="","",1/COUNTIF($A$1:$A$100,$A$1:$A$100))),INDEX(A:A,SMALL(IF(IF(ISERROR(ROW($A$1:$A$100)-1=MATCH($A$1:$A$100,$A$1:$A$100,0)),FALSE,ROW($A$1:$A$100)-1=MATCH($A$1:$A$100,$A$1:$A$100,0)),ROW($A$1:$A$100),""),ROWS($A$1:A1))),"")
commit with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, then copied down.
Office 365
=DROP(UNIQUE(A:A),-1)
JBTu...
Hi. Before we get going on this one...
Is your forum profile showing the Excel PRODUCT that you need this request to work with? Windows 11 is your Operating System, NOT your Excel /Office PRODUCT.
The best solutions often rely on knowing WHICH Office PRODUCT (Excel, NOT Windows) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File/Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this.
The three most recent Excel PRODUCTS are Excel 2019, Excel 2021 and MS365 - if you are using MS365, please give this name along with the Version number in your profile (e.g. MS365 (PC) Version 2211). The version number is in the About Excel section further down the Account page.
Cheers,
Glenn.

Yes I would be open to a VBA solution
I noticed, thanks for letting me know. it is updated now.
Hi thanks for the replies.
Still need to study the formula posted by windknife.
But to make it a bit easier I added a small workbook with what I want to do.
Cell B3 presents a value.
C3 formula will look for that value in the productlist. if the value of B3 is "new" I want it added to the productlist.
Thank you

Can't be done with a formula. Shall I move this to the VBA forum for you?

Where did Macro3 come from?
Take out the first line ( Sub Macro3() )and the last couple of lines (i.e. those that are NOT in what I posted), save it as a macro enabled workbook, and it will work for you.
Oh...and this macro has to be in sheet1 NOT module1. Right click on Sheet1 tab> View Code and Paste what I put up in post#13. Don't try to use the macro menu.
