How to filter repeated words or phrases?

Hello,
I'm compiling a list of words for a project and I need to be able to select one column, containing over 1,000 words and phrases, and filter out any repeated words or phrases and have it generate a list that doesn't contain repeats in another column, can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in adavnce!
Vince

An automatic way which will put blanks in place of duplicates is as follows (assuming column B is your list of words):
C2=IF(COUNTIF(B$2:B2,B)=1,B2,"")
fill down to end of the column
All these COUNTIF formulas will make your document very slow.
There are, I'm sure, other ways to do this. If you haven't done it already, try searching the forum.

How to filter repeated qty of item

Hi BW Expert
I have a query based on the InfoSet. Since one delivery note item could have more than one invoice items or shipment cost items, the qyt of DN item is repeated.
for example:
DN--DN itemDelivery qtyInvoice No.-Invoice Item---Invoice value
100046---000110090000110--
26
100--20--
32
100--30--
58
How can I avoid the repeated delivery qty (100) in the report?

Does anybody meet the same problem?

How to find a word and copy the phrase containing the word without using the mouse

I am using a macro to fill in a form and select fields in the form. The fields are titled and i want to use the field title to select the field and thus need to copy the name to compare with the search text and tab to the next requested field.

Ctrl+f opens the search in page feature. However, the result is not automatically selected and ready for copying. And since you already typed the query, you wouldn't really save any time that way...
Firefox has some accessibility features you could explore: [[Accessibility features in Firefox - Make Firefox and web content work for all users]]. These include placing a movable cursor into the page, or searching/selecting using / and other possibly useful items. Maybe between them you can find a good workflow. If not, maybe an add-on?
''Edit: Here's an example of how to select the word accessibility in this post:''
Type:
/acce
Press:
Esc, Ctrl+Shift+right
''Edit: Actually it works with Ctrl+f as well, and that might be better if the word is common so you can use Next/Previous.''

Just got an i-pad 2. When I go to send an email it already has the words "Sent from my ipad" under the subject line. How do I permanently remove this phrase (Yes, you can backspace to remove this but it must be done everytime).

Yes, just got an i-pad 2. Love it! Question, when I go to send an email, under the subject line it already has the phrase "Sent from my ipad". How do I permanently remove this phrase. (Yes I can do it manually each time but I prefer not to). Thanks

Why can I no longer copy a word or phrase from a New York Times article with a right-click? To copy I have to go to the toolbar Edit|Copy.

mouse right-click no longer allows me to select Copy of a word or phrase in a New York Times article. To copy I have to use the Firefox tool bar Edit|Copy.
== URL of affected sites ==
http://www.nytimes.com

One or more of your add-ons could be affecting the right-click function. You did not list your extensions. Type '''about:support''' in your URL/location bar to see a list of your Extensions, modified preferences and other Firefox information.
'''Safe Mode'''
You may need to use '''[[Safe Mode]]''' (click on "Safe Mode" and read) to localize the problem. Firefox Safe Mode is a diagnostic mode that disables Extensions and some other features of Firefox. If you are using a theme, switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes '''before''' starting Safe Mode. When entering Safe Mode, do not check any items on the entry window, just click "Continue in Safe Mode". Test to see if the problem you are experiencing is corrected.
See:
'''[[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]'''
'''[[Troubleshooting plugins]]'''
'''[[Basic Troubleshooting]]'''
If the problem does not occur in Safe-mode then disable all of your Extensions and Plug-ins and then try to find which is causing it by enabling '''one at a time''' until the problem reappears. '''You MUST close and restart Firefox after EACH change''' via File > Restart Firefox (on Mac: Firefox > Quit). You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the Safe mode start window.
'''''Other Issues''''': ~~red:You have installed plug-ins with known security issues. You should update them immediately.~~

-'''use Firefox to download''' and '''SAVE to your hard drive''' (save to Desktop for easy access)
-exit Firefox (File > Exit)
-check to see that Firefox is completely closed (''Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window'')
-double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Flash
-when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
*'''NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7''' you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
*'''NOTE for IE:''' Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.

Add Hyperlink in Mail as Word or Phrase Instead of Long Link Address

I've been trying to figure out how to insert a hyperlink in an email message as a short word or phrase instead of having to Add it as the actual address. I've been using the Add Hyperlink command for some time. But it seems like it only remains a live link if you paste it as the actual html address -- which sometimes takes more than one line of text!
Is there any way to paste link, add it, but have it show up as a short phrase? (You know, like "Sweatshirt" instead of http://www.eddiebauer.com/mensclothing/sweatshirts/45&65&39495843 etc. etc. etc.
Thanks!

Thanks a lot! I've been trying to do it backwards from that -- pasting the link into the Add Hyperlink Dialogue Box, and then trying to change the it there or after it's pasted.
This will relieve my frustration! Thanks again.

Filter Key Word - Mobile Me email

How do I filter key words in my mobile me account?
I have sent more DISH emails to my junk folder but they have a seperate email account each time. I would like to filter the word "DISH" for any future incoming emails.
Thank you in advance.

hmmm, I can only assume we can not establish junk mail policy / filter in mobile me by a keyword?
Is there a place I can go so I can make a suggestion?

How can I repeat a for loop, once it's terms has been fulfilled???

Well.. I've posted 2 different exceptions about this game today, but I managed to fix them all by myself, but now I'm facing another problem, which is NOT an error, but just a regular question.. HOW CAN I REPEAT A FOR LOOP ONCE IT HAS FULFILLED IT'S TERMS OF RUNNING?!
I've been trying many different things, AND, the 'continue' statement too, and I honestly think that what it takes IS a continue statement, BUT I don't know how to use it so that it does what I want it too.. -.-'
Anyway.. Enought chit-chat. I have a nice functional game running that maximum allows 3 apples in the air in the same time.. But now my question is: How can I make it create 3 more appels once the 3 first onces has either been catched or fallen out the screen..?
Here's my COMPLETE sourcecode, so if you know just a little bit of Java you should be able to figure it out, and hopefully you'll be able to tell me what to do now, to make it repeat my for loop:

In BI how to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field

Hi Friends,
In BI, How to filter the selection options based on inputs on top field.
The system should automatically filter the lower level drop downs based on the selection of a higher level.
For e.g. :
If a user selects a Country then the States drop down should only display the State's belongs to the Country. Similarly when a State is selected, the District drop down should display only those District's belongs to the State.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Anil,

How to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns

Hi Everyone,
We are using SharePoint2010 Standard Edition.
I wanted get the library details through REST Api. I am using as below:
https://SiteUrl/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Documents?$filter=Title eq 'SharePointDoc'
Here I am able to get the info regarding "SharePointDoc". But when I am trying to get the details from Taxonomy filter, it didn't.
Can anyone please tell me how can we filter based on Taxanomy fields.
Thanks in Advance
Krishnasandeep

Hi,
I understand that you wanted to filter the Rest Api data based on Taxanomy columns.
Per my knowledge, in SharePoint 2010 , not all types of column are available via REST, most annoyingly managed metadata columns are amongst this group of unsupported column types.
However, in SharePoint 2013, we can filter list items based on taxonomy (managed metadata) columns.
Taxonomy fields can be now called via REST API using CAML query in REST calls.
Here is a great blog for your reference:
http://www.cleverworkarounds.com/2013/09/23/how-to-filter-on-a-managed-metadata-column-via-rest-in-sharepoint-2013/comment-page-1/
You’d better to change the REST calls and the CAML query to check whether it works in SharePoint 2010.
