    Return a string, appearing multiple times, only once

    Hi,
    I would a formula which returns the string from column B in column AB if the string in column AA (same row as column B) has not appeared in preceding rows. If this is not fulfilled nothing should be returned.

    Hi,

    In AB2 put this formula (then drag down...)

    =IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH(AA2,$AA$1:AA1,0)),"",B2)
