The Fruits contains list - Apple,Banana,Orange and Colors contains list - Red,Black,Orange

so when I multi select the Fruits as well as Colors from drop-down list from cell "G1". Then the "Offset(0, -1)" means "F1" shows me the combine output list as - (Apple, Banana, Orange, Red, Black, Orange). So, The list in cell "F1" contains duplicate value Orange and it prints 2 times. It should pick up only unique items from the selected one and remove the duplicate one and should print in cell F1 as - (Apple, Banana, Orange, Red, Black).

What I have tried:

I have tried different codes to remove the duplicates from an array but does not able to get the suitable code to remove duplicate that can suit to my code and meet my condition.

So you think it is ok to compare the 'splitted oldVal' with the 'unsplitted newVal' here If El = newVal Then?

1 solution

Public Function RemoveDuplicateWords(InputString As String) As String
    Dim InputArray() As String
    InputArray = Split(InputString, " ")

    Dim DictUnique As Object
    Set DictUnique = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")

    Dim OutputString As String

    Dim Word As Variant
    For Each Word In InputArray
        If Not DictUnique.Exists(Word) Then
            DictUnique.Add Word, 1
            OutputString = OutputString & " " & Word
        End If 
    Next Word
    RemoveDuplicateWords = Trim$(OutputString)
End Function

Is this meant to be a solution to your own problem or is it further information about your question?
Bhushan Agrawal JSR 27-Aug-20 10:04am    
It is question that whether this code will remove duplicates from my array list?
Bhushan Agrawal JSR 27-Aug-20 10:06am    
Is this second code is right ? will it remove the duplicate from my code ?
