unique entries

[scrabtree]

I need a code that will take all the unique entries in
column A Sheet 1 and list them in column 1 Sheet 2.

Hi
just use 'Data - Filter - Advanced Filter' and check 'Unique entries'

If you need this in VBA simply record a macro while doing this manually

You could use Advanced Filters to using Copy to another location. But this
has to be on the active sheet. It will give you the unique value list, when
you set the criteria to 'nothing'

But this has to be on the active sheet.

You can list the uniques on another worksheet.

See Debra Dalgleish's instructions.......

Hi Gord

Using Excel 2002 SP2 I getr the message box "You can only copy data to the
active sheet", not sure why but it does not work!

Cheers

Try it once more and watchout for Debra's first step:

If the database is on Sheet1 and you would like to extract data to Sheet2:
1.Go to Sheet 2

If you start on that receiving sheet, you'll find it works.

It works if you start from the destination sheet.

Tom and Dave have covered this well so "nuff said".
