    Remove Duplicate Values in an Index Return?

    Hello I have been searching for over a week now on how to fix my issue. What i'm trying to do is use an INDEX function to return a list of "Labor Categories" based on a concactinated number. I got that part of the function down and works. But is there a way to remove duplicate values? Please see my example below.

    My Formula: {=INDEX('Cost Prop'!$B$1:$C$15,SMALL(IF('Cost Prop'!$B$1:$B$15=$C$6,ROW('Cost Prop'!$B$1:$C$15)),ROW('Cost Prop'!$B2:$C2)),2)}

    Example:
    A B
    1 110 Analyst 1
    2 110 Analyst 2
    3 110 Analyst 2
    4 110 Analyst 4

    Current Output: Is there a way to remove the 2nd Analyst 2?
    Analyst 1
    Analyst 2
    Analyst 2
    Analyst 4

    Thanks for any help or advise.

    Try this.

    In the Cost Prop sheet, I2 add formula:

    Then in the Compare sheet, D8 enter formula:

    This is a regular formula, no CSE confirmation required... and copied down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.
