First, please in future do not "hijack threads" by replying to an existing topic and simply changing the Subject line. It is considered to be extremely impolite, exactly similar to completely changing the subject during a normal conversation. Instead, start a new discussion by using the Create Mail button, or whatever it is called, in your mail program. I have left intact, below this reply, the discussion thread you hijacked so that you can see what I'm talking about.. Now, to your question: 1. Select the entire range of data on which you want to operate 2. Go to the menu option Data>Filter>Standard Filter 3. In the pane that opens there's a column labelled "Field name". Select "-none-" from the drop down list for *only* the first row. 4. Click the More button 5. If it is ticked (checked), uncheck the box labelled "Range contains column labels" 6. Select "No duplication" 7. Click OK. 8.
