Excel Facts

Wildcard in VLOOKUP
Use =VLOOKUP("Apple*" to find apple, Apple, or applesauce
you can try this,

Code:
Sub GetUniqueCouples()
    Dim i, j, k, lastA, lastB As Long
    Dim MyArray() As String
    
   lastA = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
   lastB = Cells(Rows.Count, 2).End(xlUp).Row
    
    ReDim MyArray(lastA * lastB)
    
    MyArray(0) = "Result"
    
    k = 1
    For i = 2 To lastA
        For j = 2 To lastB
            MyArray(k) = Cells(i, "A").Value & Cells(j, "B").Value
            k = k + 1
        Next j
    Next i
    
    Range("D1:D" & UBound(MyArray) + 1) = WorksheetFunction.Transpose(MyArray)
  
    Cells(1, "E").Value = Cells(1, "D").Value
    Range("D:D").AdvancedFilter Action:=xlFilterCopy, CopyToRange:=Range("E1"), Unique:=True

   'Range("D:D").ClearContents
    
End Sub

---------
Results
---------
