Hi everyone

Looking for some help on a formula which will return the first unique value in a range.

Included an image of what I'd like the formula to return - basically if the value in column A has appeared for the first time, then column B should return the value in column A. However, if that value then repeats, the formula should return a blank.

Just can't get my head round how to do this

Excel Facts

What does custom number format of ;;; mean?
Three semi-colons will hide the value in the cell. Although most people use white font instead.
How about
Excel Formula:
=IF(COUNTIFS(A$2:A2,A2)=1,A2,"")
