That is a great formula. Is there a way to make it so it can create a unique distinct list? Oscar, Thanks. That is a great formula. Is there a way to make it so it can create a unique distinct list?

With your formulas, I always modify the formula to deal with blank spaces. My data usually contains blank rows. =INDEX(List,MATCH(MIN(IF(ISBLANK(List),"",IF(COUNTIF($B$1:B1,List)=0,1,MAX((COUNTIF(List,"<"&List)+1)*2))*(COUNTIF(List,"<"&List)+1))),IF(ISBLANK(List),"",COUNTIF(List,"<"&List)+1),0). At the isblank place, you can also add other conditions like a unique list where the letter for example begins with z. To do a descending list, change "". Great formula.
