I require a formula that looks at the code in column A, and then returns the next value that is not already in the list. The values may or may not be unique.


Raw Data
Column AColumn B
Row 1IDCode
Row 22101773aaaaa
Row 32169394sdjkih
Row 42158156dsadd
Row 52101773nuihiu
Row 62101773fsdfsf
Row 72101773aaaaa


Required output
Column AColumn B
IDCode
Row 12101773aaaaa
Row 22101773nuihiu
Row 32101773fsdfsf
Row 42101773aaaaa

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
If I understand, then you can just filter the values in column A and sort Ascending.

The data needs to be transferred into another sheet where the user inputs the code, and is a couple of hundred thousand lines

Hi there, thank you for your answer, the issue is I would need to repeat this for nearly 1000 people, but if there is not a better way I will need to see what other solutions I can come up with!

I would urge then to use Power Query

Power Query:
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table1"]}[Content],
    #"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(Source, {"ID"}, {{"Count", each _, type table [ID=number, Code=text]}}),
    #"Expanded Count" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Grouped Rows", "Count", {"Code"}, {"Code"})
in
    #"Expanded Count"

When you close and load, you can select the destination.
