If I understand it correctly, you first need to split your column, then remove duplicates and merge them back.

 

Consider as follows:

Click on column and on top ribbon and make highlighted selection:

A new window appears. Fill in highlighted information:

 You will get this:

Right click on 1st column and select Remove Duplicates:

You will get following:

Now merge these columns again by selecting both columns and right-click:

A window appears. Don't forget to mention the separator as in your original column values:

After merging you get the required result:

The values from your data are taken as example as you haven't shared the data in right format to be copied and pasted easily. I had to type the values. From next time make sure you add data in such a format that anyone can copy and use it in answering your query.

Try same steps on your data, you will get the desired result.

 

Thanks,

Pragati
