Excluding Duplicate Items in a List

If you create a list of items that contains duplicate items and you want to derive a unique list, use the Advanced Filter command in Microsoft Excel to derive a unique list. Example

To see an example, follow these steps:

1. Type the following data in cells A1:A10 in a new workbook:

A1: Fruits

A2: Apple

A3: Cherry

A4: Pear

A5: Cherry

A6: Plum

A7: Apple

A8: Apple

A9: Pear

A10: Apple

2. Point to Filter on the Data menu and click Advanced Filter.

3. Under Action, click Copy to another Location. In the List Range box, type $A$1:$A$10. Select unique records only, type $B$1 in the Copy to box, and then click OK.

The following unique list appears in column

B: B1: Fruits

B2: Apple

B3: Cherry

B4: Pear

B5: Plum

Note that this method also works for multiple columns and that you can hide rows when you use the Advanced Filter command
