Say I have column A consisting of:

One
Two
Three
One
Four
House
House

I want column B to list just the unique rows of column A:
One
Two
Three
Four
House

Is this possible to do in a formula or does it require VBA?

Many thanks in advance

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Put the formula in B2 & see,

=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$8, MATCH(0, INDEX(COUNTIF($B$1:B1, $A$2:$A$8), 0, 0), 0)), "")
