Hi!

I am working on a excel sheet that has a long colum with string values.
I don't want the colum to contain any equal values.

When I write new string values to the colum sometimes I am allerted if
the value already excist (as I start writing the complete string appear
with what is left marked in black). This is good because then I know if
the value already excist in the colum and I don't retype it.
However, I am not always allerted and then I end up writing the same
value several times.

Does anyone know how I can deal with this problem as I dont want the
colun to contain any equal values? Thank you for all help.
