IS there a way to create a combolist (vb) which adds everyone in column c and
only adds one instance of the name.

say

name1
name2
name3
name1
name1
name2
name4
name5

which turns into
name1
name2
name3
name4
name5

You didn't say if the ComboBox was on a UserForm or Worksheet, but the
coding would be similar. The following is for a UserForm.

Private Sub UserForm_Activate()
Dim iEnd As Long
Dim iRow As Long
Dim NoDupes As Collection
Dim ws As Worksheet

On Error Resume Next
Set ws = Worksheets("Sheet1")
iEnd = ws.Cells(65536, "C").End(xlUp).Row
Set NoDupes = New Collection
For iRow = 1 To iEnd
NoDupes.Add ws.Cells(iRow, "C"), ws.Cells(iRow, "C")
If Err.Number = 0 Then
ComboBox1.AddItem ws.Cells(iRow, "C")
Else
Err.Clear
End If
Next iRow
End Sub

Dim iLastRow As Long
Dim aryData
Dim i As Long
Dim iItem As Long

With Worksheets("Sheet1")
iLastRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, "C").End(xlUp).Row
ReDim aryData(1 To iLastRow)
For i = 1 To iLastRow
If IsError(Application.Match(.Cells(i, "C").Value, aryData, 0))
Then
iItem = iItem + 1
aryData(iItem) = .Cells(i, "C").Value
End If
Next i
ReDim Preserve aryData(1 To iItem)
Me.ComboBox1.List = aryData
End With
