    Re: Remove duplicates and report unique IDs

    For the first part, please see Help pages on
    • Sort
    • Advanced Filter (note option for Unique Values)
    (You may want to add your Excel version to your profile so we can figure out how to give you more details on things like menu sequences to reach these.)

    Once the list is sorted and unique, a quick and dirty way of converting to a list, assuming your list is in column A starting in A1, is to put this formula in B1:

    =A1

    and this formula in B2:

    =A1&", "&A2

    and then copy it down to the last row of your data. The last line will contain the complete list.

    Re: Remove duplicates and report unique IDs

    I was already aware of the sorting options. I was wondering if there was a way to automate the task. The "list of IDs" I will be inputting will change very frequently. I was hoping to simply cut-and-paste the list and see the output immediately without having to sort. If I have to sort every time, it will defeat the purpose of trying to find a quicker way to do it than I have now.

    I imagine the required formula would be an array and would be rather complex in order to sort the IDs in numerical order.

    Anyway, thanks for your help.
