Hi,

I'm not event certain that i'm using the appropriated terminology? But I will try to explain in details what i'm trying to do.

I have a string "email.email.com" and a "status" variable that I would like to include to an array, then if it's not the first email within this array.
compare it to the ones already in the array.
If it exist, don't include it in the array.
if it not already in the array, then include it.

So in the end I would have within a array something that looks like

email1 status (note status is a string variable like "read" "not read")
eamil2 status
ect.

Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide.

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.

I think you are trying to get a distinct list.

If so I would rather than polling arrays (which can be time consuming) read out the list to a sheet then use the advanced filter to copy to another destination removing duplicates then read the resulting column in to your array.

Cheers
