Duplicate Values in Data Validation

[jazz2409]

Hello, how do I remove the duplicates in the data validation on column B?

I read about =SORT(UNIQUE for O365 however that's not showing up for me. (Maybe because I am using O365 Plus Pro?)

Attached is the sample file.

thank you

Data Validation

Now that we have our nicely sorted unique list it makes sense that you might want to use it in a data validation list (https://www.myonlinetraininghub.com/excel-drop-down-lists). To reference a spilled array we simply use the new Spilled Range Operator, #, as shown in the Data Validation ‘Source’ field below:


The above approach requires a 'sort of' 'helper' column


A more involved approach that doesn't require the helper column

Hi Paul, I have a few questions:
1: what are _xlfn and _xlws? Are they named ranges? Why can't I find them in the Name Manager?
2. how come sort and unique are working with those two but I can't make it work? :rotlaugh:
3. why can't I click on the dropdown list in C2?

I posted in the thread instead of here :rotlaugh::rotlaugh:

Hmmm I'm not sure how I'll be able to apply this to mine because I need to use it in multiple rows in the same column :(

Hidden names



Option Explicit


Sub unhideAllNames()
Dim tempName As Excel.Name

For Each tempName In ActiveWorkbook.Names
tempName.Visible = True
Next
End Sub

Oh okay so they're hidden.. Why am I unable to click on the dropdown list?

Using Example_1.xlsm, does the list (above) look the same?

What happens when you try the dropdown list on the other sheet?
