Google-sheets – Find items that are not duplicates

google sheets

I have these cells A1 through A7:

Mary 
Susie
Jane
Mary
Susie
Elizabeth
Mary

I want to get the names that do not appear multiple times, so my results should be Jane and Elizabeth. I don not want Susie or Mary because they appeared multiple times.

How do I do this?

I suggest:

  1. On a copy
  2. Insert a blank column on the left
  3. Put =countif(B$1:B$7,B1) in A1 and copy down to suit
  4. Sort A:B
  5. Select the names next to 1, copy and paste where required
  6. Delete copy
