    Find Unique Text Strings in Range

    Assume the following:

    Column A
    Bob
    Bob
    Tim
    Sally
    Sally
    Sally
    Dave
    Dave
    Jim

    I would like to examine the range and send one instance of each name to a new range with no skipping of rows. So Column C would be:

    Column C
    Bob
    Tim
    Sally
    Dave
    Jim

    I very much appreciate the help. - AS

    1) Highlight column A
    2) Select the Data > Filter > Advanced Filter
    3) Copy to another location (C1) > Unique Values

    By hand... 10 seconds.

    You can record that into a macro in the same amount of time.
