I guess technically a blank is a unique value in the tbl but I'm trying to make sure only relevant numbers are returned. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

I need to enlarge that range for a bigger table. Thanks, Hi,

So type say "Unique items from the table" in A1 and enter the following formula as an array into A2 and copy it down as far as necessary.(it is supposed column A to be free) =INDEX(tbl,MIN(IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,tbl)=0,ROW(tbl)-MIN(ROW(tbl)) +1)),MATCH(0,COUNTIF($A$1:A1,INDEX(tbl,MIN(IF(COUNTIF($A$1:A1,tbl)=0,ROW(tbl)-MIN (ROW(tbl))+1)),,1)),0),1) A slightly different approach to extract unique items from a N*M table (named as "tbl" in the formula).
