    wali,

    See the attached workbook "Collect all used symbols letters from a Column - wali - SDG.xls" with macro "CollectCharacters".

    Then run macro "CollectCharacters".
    Have a great day,

    Can you give a demonstration of data that resulted in duplicates? I'd be interested to see where it failed.
