Excel Facts

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying
How about
Code:
Sub BlessyClara()
   Dim Cl As Range
   Dim Sp As Variant
   Dim i As Long
   
   With CreateObject("scripting.dictionary")
      For Each Cl In Range("A2", Range("A" & Rows.Count).End(xlUp))
         Sp = Split(Cl, "||")
         For i = 0 To UBound(Sp)
            .Item(Trim(Sp(i))) = Empty
         Next i
         Cl.Value = join(.Keys, "||")
         .RemoveAll
      Next Cl
   End With
End Sub
