Hi after some urgent help please.

I have a table and what to extract just the unique distinct values in an end column by row.
I've looked around and couldn't find anything to give me what I need as per below.
Happy to use either Power Query, excel formula or VBA but really struggling with this. Any help would be gratefully received.

Column AColumn BColumn CColumn DOUTPUT
Item 1U4U7U4U4, U7
Item 2U4U4U4
Item 3U3U3U3
Item 4U2U2
Item 5U2S2 G9U2, S2 G9
Item 6checkcheck

You can teach Excel a new custom list. Type the list in cells, File, Options, Advanced, Edit Custom Lists, Import, OK
I suggest that you update your Account details (or click your user name at the top right of the forum) so helpers always know what Excel version(s) & platform(s) you are using as the best solution often varies by version. (Don’t forget to scroll down & ‘Save’)

BTW, in relation to the urgent nature of your request, please review points 5g & 5h of the Guidelines
