2 sheets, Remove duplicates from 1 sheet.

I have two sheets, the “info” sheet and the “about” sheet”

I want to fill Column D in the "info" sheet with the copied data from Column D in the "about" sheet, but without any duplicates.

Duplicate names have to be hidden or removed in the about sheet.

how to do it?

A couple of ways in recent versions of Numbers that make it easy to quickly remove duplicates:


First way. Filter. Apply an 'Is Distinct' Filter, select the visible cells in the column, command-c, click once in a destination cell in an existing table, and command-v or Edit > Paste and Match Style.




Second way: Pivot Table. Click in the table that has duplicate values, in the menu go to Organize > Create Pivot Table > On Current Sheet, and in the Pivot Options pane that appears drag the relevant "filed" down into the 'Rows' box like this:





Then select the de-duplicated values visible in the column, command-c, click in a cell in the destination table and paste as above.
