Often, you wind up with a spreadsheet that is a long list made up of the same things repeated over and over.
This might happen with your harvest records for the season where there there is a row for each crop you harvested from each day you were harvesting.
You might only grow 30-40 crops but by the end of the season your harvest records that are hundreds or thousands of rows long.
It would be nice to get a summary of what is on that list.
This brings us to my favourite formula:
UNIQUE!
In this tip, we’ll see …
- How to use the UNIQUE formula to make a summary list of each item that appears in a longer list.
- How to use the SORT formula to present that list in alphabetical order.
- How to extend UNIQUE to cover multiple columns
You can get the spreadsheet from this tip to follow along at home.
