Hi,

I want to do an analysis on a portfolio based on size on account. First step is to map the companies and groups. To be able to do that I need to get the distinct values (cust nr) from a larger dataset. I tried several formulas for example:

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$10, MATCH(0, COUNTIF($B$1:B1, $A$2:$A$10), 0)), "")

As is:

Is this something that can be done easily?

Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
I suggest you update your profile to show which version of Office you have, as it will affect what formulas can be used.

If you can sort by the first column, then the formula would be pretty simple in any version as you just need to show the value to the left if the value below is different and blank otherwise.

Hi,

When trying to sort the table I get an error message "to do that all merged cells must have same size" translated from swedish.

Updated the profile now.

Thanks

Is there a reason you want the layout you posted? A simple =UNIQUE(A1:A100) formula would get a unique list of numbers without gaps, which would usually be preferable for analysis.

In my setup I would like to keep the table with blanks since Im using it for a pivot in the next stage.

I succeeded with the sorting and then I tried =IFS(D10=D11;"") and it return blanks but I need it to also return dist values. How can I combine these formulas?

You'd use =IF(D10=D11;"";D10) so it returns the value only when there is a change. You may want to look at the value above if you want the first item to be flagged.

Also, if you're going to pivot, you'd get unique values anyway when you added it to a row/column field
