Extracting a list of each unique entry from a larger list

Posted by Chris L on September 19, 2001 3:45 PM

I have a file of people and the companies they work for. I want to extract a list which contains one entry for each company which appears in the original file. Any ideas about how this can be done would be appreciated.

Advanced Filter

Use Advance Filter. In a separate column on your sheet enter the same column head9ing as the column heading under which your comany names are stored. Highlight your database and select Data|Filter|Advanced. Click the Copy to another location radio button, and highlight the column header where you want the list. Tick unique records only, then OK. You should now have a list of companies, with one entry for each only.
