Hi there... I think I answered before maybe I knew the whole story. Is it possible foe you to step through what you want in a bit more detail please? As I understand it at the moment you want to ... 1) Copy a list of names from a sheet 2) Paste into another sheet in column F 3) Automatically move the names that you have just pasted into F to column A 4) If the name is already there ignore it 5) Then you want to delete all the empty cells in column A till the last entry Is this correct?
