(Q) Searching for a formula

Copper Contributor

Wondering if there is a formula for this:

 

In Sheet 1 I have a list of names in column A. Some of these names appear once, and others are repeated multiple times. I would like a formula to copy these names ONLY ONCE (even if they appear multiple times) to Column A in Sheet 2. So essentially, every time a NEW name appears, it will be copied over to Column A in Sheet 2. I don't care what order they appear in once they're copied, they would just need to be put in the next open cell. 

Thanks for the help in advance!

You could put the list on a blank worksheet and then go to Data tab, Data tools and use Remove duplicates. That will give you a list of each name

@michele1062 I should have mentioned that I want this to continually update as I add more names to sheet 1. It sounds like your fix would work one time but that I would need to redo the process every so often as more names are added. 

Is there a way to accomplish this as an ongoing process?
