I made the the fowolling list in order to explain what i need too do:
1st pet 2nd pet 3rd pet 4th pet
dog cat dog
cat bunny
bunny bunny cat dog
fish dog
I want to remove duplicated pets in each row. For each row where there is a repeating pet,I have to remove it (dog in the first row third column and bunny 3-rd row ,secod column.)
The real list is with 800 rows and 15 columns.
Can you please advise me how to do it

Hi I am applying the same example in excel- first sheet is the inital list,
on the 2nd sheet you can see what i want to have as result
write formula at start solution (top left corner) ie in this sample B11
(formula array)
{=IFERROR(INDEX($B2:$E2,MATCH(,COUNTIF($A11:A11,$B2:$E2),0)),"")}
copy right and down.
to hide zero value use format number custom type:0;-0;;@
see this attached.
Thanks a lot. It works perfectly.
