    Resolved [RESOLVED] Distinct Values

    From VBA, can I get just the distinct values from part of a Worksheet column ?

    The part is the first 7 characters in the cell, there's always an 8th one there but that must be ignored.

    Thanks, ABB

    Re: Distinct Values

    I'm sorry, English isn't my primary language, but could you be a bit more specific about "distinct values"?

    Hi Opus,

    Re: Distinct Values

    my guess is not

    while it is using excel, this is a straight out sql question and may be better placed in the database forum
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    OK Pete, It wasn't the best thought out question ! I was rushing something.... and in the end a simple few lines of basic ended up sorted it all.

    Thanks, ABB
