    Eliminate repetitive data in dropdown

    I have this file where I have defined a range for dropdown i.e. column A. That data is required as dropdown in column F under the heading input. The issue I am facing is in the dropdown I could see those many number of times the data being repeated as much as it is present in column A. i.e. the title "Environment" repeats 9 times in column A and hence shows equal number of times in column F. Is there a way to eliminate these repetitions, still get the dropdown of entire range of data ?

    id attack it like this if you are going to add to end of list.
    or you could just use advanced filter to extract an unique list instead
