    Singular Unique Drop Down List

    Hello,

    Can there be a drop down list on unique genres from table column and have that drop down list in alphabetical order?

    This list should only have one word for each selection.

    For instance below example would be 4 separate genres:

    Science Fiction / Comedy / Family / Fantasy


    Thank you

    You have uploaded a MASSIVE file, with two sheets and NO INDICATION of WHAT you expect to see or WHERE you expect to see it.

    Please provide SOME SORT of an explanation.

    On a hidden sheet called Genres:

    =LET(g,Table1[Genre],UNIQUE(SORT(TEXTSPLIT(TEXTJOIN(" / ",,g),," / "),,1)))

    Data list formula:

    =Genres!C1#
