Linda, your method is perfect, but I thought I'd chime in with a nice work
around for a way to copy filters to different sheets - it's dead simple too
- all you have to do is START on the destination sheet, then specify the
RANGE on the different sheet. Oddly Excel can cope with this - never
understood why it only works this way around.

HTH,

Dave.

Ok.  Are you sure you are entering the parameters correctly in the Advanced
Filter box?

Here's an example:

Lets say the data is in cells A1 to F10 and you want to remove the
duplicates and create a new list starting in A12....

Highlight A1:F10
Go to Data>Filter>Advanced Filter
Select Copy to another location
Click your mouse inside the box that says "Copy To", then simply click
inside cell A12 and the copy to box will be filled in automatically and
should say something like Sheet1$A$12 Then put a check in the box that says
unique records only and click OK.

Is this clearer?  Yes, the range has to be on the same sheet.
