        <h1>UNIQUE Function</h1>
        <p>The <b>UNIQUE</b> function is one of the reference functions. It is used to return a list of unique values from the specified range.</p>
        <p>The <b>UNIQUE</b> function syntax is:</p>
        <p style="text-indent: 150px;"><b><em>UNIQUE(array,[by_col],[exactly_once])</em></b></p>
        <p>where</p>
        <p><b><em>array</em></b> is the range from which to extract unique values.</p>
        <p><b><em>by_col</em></b> is the optional TRUE or FALSE value indicating the method of comparison: TRUE for columns and FALSE for rows.</p>
        <p><b><em>exactly_once</em></b> is the optional TRUE or FALSE value indicating the returning method: TRUE for values occurring once and FALSE for all unique values.</p>

        <p>To apply the <b>UNIQUE</b> function,</p>
        <ol>
            <li>select the cell where you wish to display the result,</li>
            <li>

                <br />or click the <img alt="Function icon" src="../images/function.png" /> icon situated at the formula bar,
            </li>
            <li>select the <b>Look up and reference</b> function group from the list,</li>
            <li>click the <b>UNIQUE</b> function,</li>
            <li>enter the required argument,</li>
            <li>press the <b>Enter</b> button.</li>
        </ol>
        <p>The result will be displayed in the selected cell.</p>
