Extract unique numbers from a list

[excelbee]

I have values like 7,4,3,4,7 in a given column.
How to avoid duplicates from this?
It has to show only 7,4,3.

Please help.

thanks in advance

Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

As this is your first post I'll change it for you on this occasion but please remember for the future.

Does it have to be a formula?
Or: Remove duplicates under the Data Tab

You'll want to use advanced filtering (in the Data tab of the ribbon). From here you can select "Unique records only".

Hi,

Use either Data Advanced Filter - Filter the list in place and tick the unique option. Or Advanced Filter and Copy to Another Range - again with the unique option ticked.

you can use the "remove duplicate value" option, if you are using Excel 2007

@hitesh

Indeed you can. Thank you for that reminder.
That's one of the disadvantages of growing up with 97/2003 and never changing one's thinking.

If you need to retain your original data try this ...

With your Data in A2 Down
In C2, Drag Down
