    extracting data once if it's repeated

    Hello, dear friends!

    My question: I have a bulk of data in column A. I need to make a list of data in column B in the following way

    A1 = Anna
    A2 = Inga
    A3 = Inga
    A4 = Peter
    A6 = Anna
    A7 = Alex

    I want to know what names are used (without finding out how many times it appears in column A) and to get a table in B column like this:

    B1 = Anna
    B2 = Inga
    B3 = Peter
    B4 = Alex

    thank you very much.

    Use the instructions found at the website link above...
    Set your "Copy to another location" to B1

    Now all of the unique entries will be listed in Col B
