Get First Data and Ignore for same PO

[reza_doang]

Hi All -


Need your expertise in excel
Currently i have data with thousands of rows and there is duplication in some of data, but i can't delete it.
i have column PO Number and duration of the PO (from PO created - PO release) and not in consecutive.
In that column,I just want to take the information each PO only 1 (irrespective with PO duplication)
i.e
I have 10.000 PO numbers (rows) but might be only 5.000 PO the unique one.
by manually i can use pivot or table and remove duplicate, but it will take more effort.


Really appreciate if you can give formula to get only first PO data and ignore the rest for same PO.

[TABLE="class: grid, width: 500, align: left"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]PO[/TD]
[TD]Days[/TD]
[TD]expected result[/TD]

How about
=IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)=1,B2,"")
