Can anyone help please?

I have a column A in my worksheet which has a list of user name names and a column B which has a value against each user. Each user will appear several times in column A

I would like to create a list box which just holds the unique names from column A but I'm struggling!

I have found a suggestion via Google but it end in e reference error and I'm struggling to understand why. The formula I'm using to populate the source of a list box is:

=OFFSET(Sheet1!$A$2, 0, 0, COUNT(IF(Sheet1!$A$1:$A$1000=””, "", 1)), 1)

Could anyone shed any light on what I'm doing wrong please?

Thanks

Chris

Spell Check in Excel
Press F7 to start spell check in Excel. Be careful, by default, Excel does not check Capitalized Werds (whoops)
I managed to resolve this using the following formula to create a list starting at AA2 which I used for the list box source

=INDEX($A$2:$A$9999, MATCH(0,COUNTIF($AA$1:AA1, $A$2:$A$9999), 0))

(Ctrl, shift, Enter) then drag the cell at AA2 down to get the unique list

Works a treat
