Default How do I keep duplicate text from being entered in an excel file?

Hi

Select the column with product names, and goto Data Validation Allow:
Custom Formula: =CountIf($A:$A,A1)=1

Hopes this helps

I am entering product names in excel (in the hundreds) and I would like to
have excel check that as I enter a name it has not already been used.
