I have a spreadsheet that I have a main set of data with varying status' eg
active, pending, completed.
In another shhet in the same workbook, I would like to identify all items
with a specific status ie active, and I do not want it to display duplicates.
Is there a formula that I can use to achieve this?
I have unique identifiers in the first column (a) and have attempted to do
this by having the status as the first column instead of the unique
identifier using basic vlookups, IF and AND statements.
I do not want to use filters and copy and paste my identifiers if I can help
it.

Thank you in advance!!
Fiona

Could you try conditional formatting

Perhaps you might also want to try this sample from my archives*:
http://savefile.com/files/9260836
AutoCopy_Data_To_Resp_Sheet_Non_Array_Approach.xls
(Full details inside)

If it suits, think you could adapt it quite easily. Your key col would be
the statuses col: active, pending, completed, which corresponds with the key
col A (colors col: red, green yellow) in the sample. The set-up essentially
auto-copies all lines by status to it's own sheet from a mastersheet.
