thanks, but I need a &quot;plug this in there&quot; because like I said, I don't know $#@% about Excel.<br />
I know one thing about Excel : I hate it.<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have columns that have repeating values for the rows, like &quot;Ear Care, Pain Relief, Joint Care, Bathing&quot;.<br />
<br />
Is there a way I get a list of all these <b>distinct </b> values?<br />
(I want a list of all the values without them repeating)<br />
<br />
It would be like using &quot;Select Distinct . .&quot; in SQL. <br />
<br />
Please explain how to do it using simple steps because I don't use Excel at all<br />
and don't even know to do simple things. <br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
