# 👋 Hey Fellow Gliders!

I just discovered a workaround to easily create a collection of unique items from a larger list of items without using a single computed column — achievable in 3 steps:

1️⃣ Create a List  
2️⃣ Set Limit Items to 1  
3️⃣ Group by the Unique Value

Check out the video tutorial below. Enjoy! 🍿

Ha good one Bob! For purely display purposes if we accept to show an item in each group, it seems it’ll do the trick. Nice find, how creative.

You made the remark that generating the unique list in a Glide Big Table isn’t practical:

- Using a Query column. Unpractical because of the 100-row limit?
- Using a relation single match. Wouldn’t that work fine?
