i have a column in excel that has people's names. i have sorted the
whole document to be in alphabetical order, by name....what i want is
to capture one entry of each name...so for example now i have something
like:
Code:
--------------------
john smith
john smith
john smith
john smith
joe blo
joe blo
joe blo
jerey james
jerey james
jerey james
jerey james
jerey james
jerey james
jerey james
--------------------
and i would like to get just one sample pasted to another sheet just so
i know who all is on this document.
Code:
--------------------
john smith
joe blo
jerey james
--------------------
we are talking about maybe 100 names.

look at Data>Filter>Advanced Filter. It has an option to copy unique rows.
