How to make the formula unique to ignore a column


I have this formula in a google spreadsheet cell which finds unique rows in the columns A:F.

It works fine but I need to the formula to ignore the content of the column C. I mean that the formula should take two rows as equals even if the value in cell 'C' is different.

Is there a way to do this?

=unique(A:F)

Solution

  • you can either use:

    =UNIQUE({A:B, D:F})
    

    0

    or like:

    =ARRAYFORMULA(QUERY({UNIQUE({A:B, D:F}), 
     IFERROR(VLOOKUP(INDEX(UNIQUE({A:B, D:F}),,1), A:C, 3, 0))}, 
     "select Col1,Col2,Col6,Col3,Col4,Col5", 0))
    

    0

    or try perhaps:

    =SORTN(A1:F3, 10, 2, 1, 1, 2, 0, 4, 0, 5, 0, 6, 0)
