Hello,

I am looking for a way to sort and delete duplicates.

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: center"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]number[/TD]
[TD]sorted and delete duplicates[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[/TR]
[TR]

The column labeled number needs to be left the same.

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Welcome to the Board!

Depending on your needs, it might be easiest to use some of the built-in functions of Excel. Use copy/paste to copy column A to column B, then use the Remove Duplicates tool from the Data tab, then use the Sort tool. Once you get the hang of it, you can do it in a few seconds. This could be automated by VBA if you want.

You could also use a formula to do that. For example:

Excel 2012
AB
numbersorted and delete duplicates

<colgroup><col style="width: 25pxpx"><col><col></colgroup><thead>
</thead><tbody>
[TD="align: center"]1[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]2[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]3[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]2[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]2[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]4[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]3[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]5[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]1[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]4[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]6[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]8[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]9[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]4[/TD]

[TD="align: center"]10[/TD]
[TD="align: right"]2[/TD]
[TD="align: right"][/TD]

[TD="align: center"]11[/TD]
