    Formula to Extract a Single Instance from a List of Multiple Items

    Hi,

    In columns A to C I have a series of names, with many in any column being included in the other two columns.

    In column E I would like to create using a formula a list the contains a single instance of each name in columns A to C.

    Can someone please suggest a formula to achieve this.

    Thanks!
