How to Get Unique/Distinct Values From a Column in Excel

Lets say that you have a column with values, and you need to find out what distinct/unique values are in there.

Note: Goal is not see how many are there but to find an actual list of those values.

This is similar to SQL's

SELECT Distinct(Column) FROM Table

1. Go to Data Ribbon menu -> Sort & Filter section and click the Advanced button.

   

2. Fill in Advanced Filter dialog. Make sure to select Copy to another location and check Unique records only.
   Copy to is the place where the unique data will be placed at.

   

3. Unique values from source list are copied to new list starting at cell selected in Copy to property of Advanced filter dialog.

   

If are copying data to another sheet and get this error You can only copy filtered data to active sheet, you must start the Advanced filter dialog from the sheet you want to copy to.
