Hi all!

I'm using the following code found HERE (old thread so I won't ask questions there).

VBA Code:
Public Sub Test()

ActiveSheet.Range("A2:A65536").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=ActiveSheet.Range("B2"), Unique:=True

End Sub

Which is notably shorter that the other solutions.

Interestingly, my first result and only my first result is duplicated. B2 and down looks something like
916
916
542
1308
...

I'm just wondering if anyone can explain why it works perfectly with the exception of the first duplicate?

Or alternatively provide an equally short solution :)

Thanks!

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

The Advance filter requires a header row, so in your case it's treating A2 as the header, which is why it's repeated.

Try changing A2 to A1 & copying to B1
