I use a Unique Filter formula to obtain a list. I do not want any blanks in my Dropdown List at all.
Problem,
1: How can I remove the blanks?
2: If the list returns no options can I make the Dropdown List inactive?
3: How can I have the first or all dropdown list options displayed in the cell, before clicking on it with a mouse?
I tried selecting REMOVE BLANKS in Data Validation but the blanks still show up.

I am creating drop-downs using list data validation in Excel.
I am checking the "Ignore Blank" checkbox ON while creating the drop-down. Yet, the blank spaces are not being ignored and it shows in the drop-down.
Also, the number of blank spaces is equal to the number of rows in column A (in given Example). In case of multiple columns,
The number of blank spaces = Total number of rows in longest column - Number of values in selected column for drop-down
Also, usage of UNIQUE function in data validation is showing error.
How do I solve these issues? I am submitting screenshots for reference.

I have excel file. i need to delete entire row if row value contain "abc xyz".
enter image description here
Delete Filtered Rows
Select the whole 'table' range including headers.
Filter the range by using CtrlShift+L.
Click on the filter's drop-down arrow of the appropriate column.
In the drop-down menu, uncheck Select All, check abc xyz and press OK.
Select the row headings (1,2,3,4,...) of the filtered rows actually selecting the entire rows.
Right-click anywhere in the selection and in the appearing menu choose Delete Row.
Remove the filter by again using CtrlShift+L.
I am trying to create an ordering file, it has 2 tabs, one with the official order form, and the next tab with the items they can order. I want to automatize the order tab, so i added check boxes next to each item and linked to a row next to it where it shows "TRUE" if checked and "FALSE" if not checked. I have also added another row with an if formula to simply look for that cell and if "True" show "X".
My question is, how can i write a formula to look for all items marked with "X" and automatically fill my order? I want to add the formula to all rows on the order form, so if they select 10 items they would show (but not repeat), and if they only selected one it would show only 1.
In the pic below, if they checked the box it would show on the other sheet with quantity and the CASE UPC
In the First picture shows where they would make the selection
]1
In the second picture shows where the formula would bring the qty and UPC Case code
I am trying to do something like VLOOKUP, but VLOOKUP would stop in the first match and repeat it. Thank You so much!
If one has the dynamic array formula available in Office 365, put this in the upper left cell of the output area:
=FILTER(CHOOSE({1,2},G:G,E:E),I:I="X")
i use Name Manager to defined a range by this formula
=OFFSET(Setting!$E$2,0,0,COUNTA(Setting!$E:$H),4)
and add data validation by it's name to the cell i wanna to show drop down list

I ALSO TRY this formula
=Setting!$E$2:INDEX(Setting!$E:$E,COUNTIF(Setting!$E:$E,"?*"))
but it works only for single column how to edit it to work with multiple columns
I have a workbook with 7531 rows in excel.
There are 3 columns and in 1 column there are duplicate values, I don't want to delete the duplicate value, but I want to modify one so there won't be duplicate values anymore.
Could anyone help me with this?!
Select the range of cells you wish to test. One way to do so is to click on a single cell and then press Ctrl-A.
On Excel's Home tab, choose Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells Rules, and then Duplicate Values.
Click OK within the Duplicate Values dialog box to identify the duplicate values.
Duplicate values in the list will now be identified.
