What experience do you have with VBA? What columns contain the data? what makes the record "unique" Here's what I would do: Copy the first sheet to make the "Summary" page. then use: Option Explicit Sub UniqueNames() Dim sCnt As Integer Dim rCnt As Integer Dim R As Integer Dim sht Dim Dict_Unique Dim tArray Set Dict_Unique = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary") Dict_Unique.RemoveAll sCnt = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Summary").Range("A1:A65000")) For R = 2 To sCnt ' (Assumes "Lastname, FirstName" is unique) If (Not Dict_Unique.exists(UCase(Sheets("Summary").Cells(R, "A").Value & ", " & Sheets("Summary").Cells(R, "B").Value))) Then Dict_Unique.Add UCase(Sheets("Summary").Cells(R, "A").Value & ", " & Sheets("Summary").Cells(R, "B").Value), Sheets("Summary").Name End If Next R For sht = 1 To Sheets.Count If (Sheets(sht).Name <> "Summary") Then rCnt = Application.WorksheetFunction.CountA(ActiveWorkbook.Sheets(sht).Range("A1:A65000")) For R = 2 To rCnt If (Not Dict_Unique.exists(UCase(Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "A").Value & ", " & Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "B").Value))) Then Dict_Unique.Add UCase(Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "A").Value & ", " & Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "B").Value), Sheets(sht).Name sCnt = sCnt + 1 Sheets("Summary").Cells(sCnt, "A").Value = Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "A").Value Sheets("Summary").Cells(sCnt, "B").Value = Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "B").Value Sheets("Summary").Cells(sCnt, "C").Value = Sheets(sht).Cells(R, "C").Value End If Next R End If Next sht End Sub
