It will show Beef twice if you used Beef as the top cell in the column.

Excel treats that cell in each column as a title.

Insert a row above the first Beef and try again.

If you leave it blank Excel will ask you what to do with it. Click Yes to leave
it a label cell.

i enter manualy the items received from the warehouse in column "A" and i
need to filter these items in column "B" without duplication so that
Column

that i received from warehouse(column "A") haven't beed received before ,
to
be displayed in column "B"

Column "B" includes only all kinds of products i have used in my shop
without regard to how many times i received these items
