number lookup

[littlejilly]

Hello,

I have a long list of numbers in ascending order where the numbers repear and I am trying to extract a list of only the numbers that are in that list. For example the list looks like this

1
1
1
1
1
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
2
3
3
3
3
3
3
3
4
4
4
4
4
99
99
99
99
99


I need to extract a list that has the numbers but I only need to see them once so the new list would look like
1
2
3
4
99

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Try Advanced Filter http://www.contextures.com/xladvfilter01.html#FilterUR

Easiest way to do this is to use Data--> Advanced Filter.

Select the data range, and copy range and select unique records only

So you want to generate a unique, ordered list of the numerical values in your column? try:

<b>Excel 2002</b><table cellpadding="2.5px" rules="all" style=";background-color: #FFFFFF;border: 1px solid;border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #A6AAB6"><colgroup><col width="25px"
