Names Default To Here(1);
myList = {"John", "Dan", "Rob", "Rob", "Matt", "Shane", "Matt", "Shane", "John"};
my_list = Associative Array(myList) << get keys;Re: How to remove duplicate entries from a list?Unfortunately, Associative Arrays get slow if the list is long.
There are other approaches like Summarize and Tables/Summary which are way faster.
So, sometimes it could make sense to create a data table, fill a new column with the list values and use the fast table functions.
Best:
go to Provide fast way to get unique values from JMP objects (column, lists), possibly similar to Python's Set and support @jthi 's wish with a Kudo
