Hi Team,

I am looking for some help here, I have base data and need to get the unique info based on one criteria in the below example is is "Category".

Why I am looking formula is because it should dynamic and should not perform pivot/remove duplicate every time.

Hi Fluff,

Thanks for your quick solution.

Its working perfect but taking more time in calculating ..is it because of array function? Is there any way to speed up the formula? Thank you
