</body>Hi All,

I'm using an array function to list values with a specified prefix, However the function I'm using will still obviously list duplicated values, Is there any way in which my formula can be edited, or indeed a new formula created that will give a list of unique values with a specified prefix.

Below is an example of what I'd be after and my currently used formula.
