1. Highlight column, go to Data tab, 'Text to Columns', choose Delimited then click Space 2. Then highlight all columns, go to Data tab and 'Remove Duplicates'

Hi Tanya ,
Many thanks for the swift response!
Please note that each cell already contain a unique pair of technicians.
We are looking for a way to find how may sets of 3 pairs (or 5 or 6 or 10..) there are in the column and how we can get these set/ groups of 3 (or 5 or 6....10 etc) unique pairs in separate columns.
i.e if someone name -first left word in the cell- is in the group cannot be into next group .
Any idea will be appreciated.
Again thank you!
