Hi,

I have a workbook which contains the Channel Data Set in Column H and Sub Channel in Column M. I want to create a to be able to enter a Channel Name into cell A1 and Column B to show a unique list mapped to A1.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
 

Excel Facts

Show numbers in thousands?
Use a custom number format of #,##0,K. Each comma after the final 0 will divide the displayed number by another thousand

Great. Must the value in A1 hold for column H or M?

Most of the in-between columns are not shown here.

Channel Data is in H2:H9 and SubChannel in M2:M9.

A1: Email

A2, control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code): 
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(M2:M9<>"",IF(H2:H9=A1,
    MATCH("~"&M2:M9,M2:M9&"",0))),ROW(M2:M9)-ROW(M2)+1),1))

A3: List

A4, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Rich (BB code): 
=IF(ROWS($A$4:A4)<=$A$2,INDEX($M$2:$M$9,
  SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF($M$2:$M$9<>"",IF($H$2:$H$9=$A$1,
   MATCH("~"&$M$2:$M$9,$M$2:$M$9&"",0))),
    ROW($M$2:$M$9)-ROW($M$2)+1),ROW($M$2:$M$9)-ROW($M$2)+1),
     ROWS($A$4:A4))),"")

The above formulas can be shortened up by naming the ranges.

Let Sheet1 house the data (Adjust to suit).

Define CHANNEL by means of Insert | Name | Define or Formulas | Name Manager as referring to:
Rich (BB code): 
=Sheet1!$H$2:$H$9

SubCHANNEL as referring to:
Rich (BB code): 
=Sheet1!$M$2:$M$9

And Ivec as referring to:
Rich (BB code): 
=ROW(CHANNEL)-ROW(INDEX(CHANNEL,1,1))+1

If done properly, the formulas would become:

A2, control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code): 
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(SubCHANNEL<>"",IF(CHANNEL=A1,
  MATCH("~"&SubCHANNEL,SubCHANNEL&"",0))),Ivec),1))

A4, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:
Rich (BB code): 
=IF(ROWS($A$4:A4)<=$A$2,INDEX(SubCHANNEL,
  SMALL(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(SubCHANNEL<>"",IF(CHANNEL=$A$1,
   MATCH("~"&SubCHANNEL,SubCHANNEL&"",0))),Ivec),Ivec),
    ROWS($A$4:A4))),"")
