Hi there,

I have two worksheets. In the first worksheet I have several records e.g.:
Column A Column B
BCALIBR1 1
BCALIBR1 1
BCALIBR1 2
BCALIBR1 2
BCALIBR1 2
BGHALO 1
BGHALO 1
In the second worksheet I need to extract the unique records from the first worksheet.
I can do this using the advanced filter but is there a way using a formula in order that I get the unique records in the second worksheet:
Column A Column B
BCALIBR1 1
BCALIBR1 2
BGHALO 1

Thanks and best regards,
Bastiaan

A2, control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Code: 
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Sheet1!C2:C8<>"",
    MATCH("~"&Sheet1!C2:C8,Sheet1!C2:C8&"",0)),
      ROW(Sheet1!C2:C8)-ROW(Sheet1!C2)+1),1))

A4, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Code: 
=IF(ROWS($A$4:A4)<=$A$2,
    SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$8<>"",
     MATCH("~"&Sheet1!$C$2:$C$8,Sheet1!$C$2:$C$8&"",0)),
      ROW(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$8)-ROW(Sheet1!$C$2)+1),
      ROW(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$8)-ROW(Sheet1!$C$2)+1),
       ROWS($A$4:A4)),"")

B4, just enter, copy across, and down:
Code: 
=IF(N($A4),INDEX(Sheet1!A$2:A$8,$A4),"")
