    Filtering repeated names to get a list of unique names

    Hi, really hoping some can help me with this. I have a very long list of names (many names in column A in attached file) and I need to filter through these names and list the unique names in column B. Would appreciate a macro for this. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Re: Filtering repeated names to get a list of unique names

    Hi, if macro is not a must try use a simple excel function below:
    1. copy col A, paste to col B
    2. select col B, go to Data menu > remove duplicates
    3. select the option "continue with the current selection" > click "remove duplicates" > OK

    Thannsk Alvin, following your steps, I have recorded the macros as follows:

    Columns("A:A").Select
    Selection.Copy
    Columns("B:B").Select
    ActiveSheet.Paste
    Application.CutCopyMode = False
    ActiveSheet.Range("$B$1:$B$13").RemoveDuplicates Columns:=1, Header:=xlNo

    The above works! Thanks!
