I have a worksheet with around 6000 lines of data.

I'm trying to get a sorted (using the SORT function) list of unique (using the UNIQUE function) values from columns I & J on a separate sheet in a single column (using the TOCOL function), but excluding any value that contains either + or @ symbols (using the FILTER function).

I've tried every possible combination of SORT / UNIQUE / FILTER / TOCOL but I simply can't get the filter item to work without adding a helper column, which I'd rather not do.

The source data in columns I & J has a dynamic named range ('Stations") so I don't need to specify the data area as this will be added to over time.

Can anyone help with a clean solution please?

An example of what I'm trying to achieve is as follows:

Column I Column J Output
A K A
B + C C
A B + D
D A E
E D F
G @ F H
G @ E J
H J K
B + A
C I +

As always, any assistance would be hugely appreciated, and thank you so much in advance.
