create list of unique values

[blackbox]

I know the Advanced filter does this but I couldn't get it to work in vba, so I tried the following and couldn't get it to work either
In column A I have values starting at row 4, ranging up to row 1004.

in coulumn Q (starting at row 3) I'd like a list of unique entries from column A

I know this line is my problem

If Range("A" & I) <> Range("Q4:Q30") Then

but i'm not sure how to compare against all values in a range

Sub FilterSymbol()
Dim I As Integer
Dim X As Integer
X = Range("O2")
I = 4

Do
If Range("A" & I) <> Range("Q4:Q30") Then
Range("Q" & I) = Range("A" & I)
I = I + 1
Else: I = I + 1
End If
Loop Until I >= X
 
End Sub

all my data is in column A, row 4 to 1004

i want to create a list in column Q, starting at row 3, of unique entries found in column A

/ESU7 may be found 200 times in column A but it should appear only once in column Q

I will then use COUNTIF to find the number of times it exists in column A


hope that makes more sense, thanks

Your orginal code confused me a lot.
try

Sub test()
Dim a, e, x
With Sheets("sheet1")
     a = .Range("a4:a1003").Value
     With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
          .CompareMode = vbTextCompare
          For Each e In a
               If Not .exists(e) Then .add e, Nothing
          Next
          x = .keys
     End With
     With .Range("q3").Resize(UBound(x) + 1)
          .Value = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(x)
          .Sort key1:=.Cells(1,1), order1:=xlAscending
     End with
End With
End Sub

sorry about that!

this is what I was looking for. Thanks!!

all unique entries are shown, then the next row is #N/A

the number of entries in column A varies

is there an easy way to get rid of that?

Thanks again!

OK
Can you change to

Sub test()
Dim a, e, b(), n As Long
With Sheets("sheet1")
     a = .Range("a4:a1003").Value
     ReDim b(1 To UBound(a,1), 1 To 1)
     With CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
          .CompareMode = vbTextCompare
          For Each e In a
               If Not IsEmpty(e) And Not .exists(e) Then .add e, Nothing
               n = n + 1 : b(n,1) = e
          Next
     End With
     With .Range("q3")
          .Resize(Rows.Count - 3).ClearContents
          With .Resize(n)
               .Value = b
               .Sort key1:=.Cells(1,1), order1:=xlAscending
          End With
     End with
End With
End Sub

Perfect

thank you so much!!!

Hi blackbox

I'm glad that you've got a solution, but your original Advanced filter idea should work.

This works for me:

Range("A1:A1004").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range("C3"), Unique:=True

Change column C to Q and add a sort if you want.

Kind regards

[blackbox]

how did you make it continue down column C?

 

[pgc01]

I've just executed the statement I posted. Since it has the parameter CopyToRange:=Range("C3"), it starts in C3 and writes down.

Have you tried it with the example I posted?

 

[blackbox]

this is what I tried

Sub test()
Range("A4:A1004").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range("Q3"), Unique:=True
End Sub

it copied the value in A4 to Q3 and stoped

 

[pgc01]

Works perfectly for me (xl2000). I was trying to figure out what the problem might be but I can't see any reason. Unless there's some corruption in the memory. Exit the file and reopen?

Kind regards
