MS Office Forum / Excel / Programming / May 2008Pivot table - Unique values
Please does anyone know if I can use pivot table to bring out unique values. I have thousands of rows and columns with firstname, middlename and lastname. Some names are duplicate and I just want to bring out only unique names. No. A Pivot Table can't tell the difference between "Fred Smith" and "Frederick Smith". You will need to cleanse your data first. Regards, Fred. > Please does anyone know if I can use pivot table to bring out unique > values. > I have thousands of rows and columns with firstname, middlename and > lastname. > Some names are duplicate and I just want to bring out only unique names. Hi Yossy, > Please does anyone know if I can use pivot table to bring out unique > values. > I have thousands of rows and columns with firstname, middlename and > lastname. > Some names are duplicate and I just want to bring out only unique names. Do you just want a list of unique names? Don't use a pivot table. Select just the columns containing firstname, middlename and lastname, then use Data -> Filter -> Advanced Filter Check 'Copy to another location' Check 'Unique records only' Select a cell for the Copy to range Done.
