Sort & Unique

SORT & UNIQUE

Usually, I am use to using a pivot table to remove duplicates or use the remove duplicate option. 

An alternative way and more simple way is to use the super helpful function UNIQUE() function & add on the SORT() function to have it in alphabetical order.

To view any excel workbook and the formulas within their cells, please click on the bottom right icon. Also, once I learned about the FORMULATEXT function so I starting utilizing that at some point so you can see the whole formula without having to click into a cell.  Note the following: 1) All numbers are made up; I often use the RANBETWEEN() function to randomize numbers.

Below, I wanted to return the number of Basis invoices paid on week 1, week 2, week 3, etc. I used the right formula here because the row index number is always one more than the week.
