- [Voiceover] On this worksheet called…HR List with Duplicates,…you can tell by its name…that something is a little bit off here.…We do have duplicates in this list…and we surely want to get rid of them.…Looking at the people's names down in column A,…might start to scroll, don't see any duplicates.…This is not a foolproof method, of course,…but eventually we might see one.…For example, down here, rows 39 and 40.…Problem is we might have others as well.…So we certainly would get rid of them…and probably use the feature called Remove Duplicates.…It's on the Data tab in the ribbon…in the Data Tools group.…
We could, however, want to get a new unique list.…In other words, let's not destroy the existing list.…Let's create a new list that is unique.…We can do that too by way of a feature…called Advanced Filter.…At other times maybe we're only looking at…certain parts of the data.…For example, someone might be looking at column C…and say how many different departments do we have?…Could we create a unique list for just column C?…
