I have this in column A, starting with row 1:
Blue
Yellow
Blue
Red
Red
Yellow
Question 1)
I want to calculate how many unique entries I have in that column - that is 3 (for Blue, Yellow and Red).
Question 2)
I want to keep column 2 populated with these unique entries, like this:
Blue
Yellow
Red
(in the order they occur in column A)
..and when Green is added in column A then column B should be updated with that too.
_____
(I've read several posts on my topic, but no one seam to be exact what I need, and I can't figure out how to tweak the formula to fit my needs. I've tried FREQUENCY and SUMPRODUCT but in both I've encountered problems. For the FREQUENCY example there was a TRUNC part that I couldn't bypass, and for the SUMPODUCT I never got the hang of the -- thing. I hope this can help.)
