  • You can prevent duplicate entries in Excel by applying a custom Data Validation rule to limit the number of times a word or number is repeated in your spreadsheet.
    In this Excel tutorial, we'll go over how to create a custom Data Validation rule to prevent duplicate entries in a column.
    You'll see how to set the limit to an entry so that it can appear only one time, twice, or however many times you want to set your entry limit to.
    To walk through how to create a custom error message using Data Validation, make sure to take a look at this article: yacostasolution...

    Only problem; this only works if you try to actually type in the value; unfortunately, this does not prevent copy-pasting the same data repeatedly 😑
