Assume data will be entered in A1 down to say, A200
Select A2:A200 (A2 active)
Click Data Validation Settings tab
Allow: Custom
Formula: =ISERROR(MATCH(A2,$A$1:$A1,0))
Click the Error Alert tab
Enter the "pop up" error msg as desired,
eg (from your subject line): Stop! Only unique values to be entered
Click OK
Test it out ..
