Help with remove duplicate content and only keep the first content detail
Input
Code:
data_10 SSA
data_2 TYUE
data_3 PEOCV
data_6 SSAT
data_21 SSA
data_19 TYUEC
data_14 TYUE
data_15 SSA
data_32 PEOCV
.
.

Desired Output
Code:
data_10 SSA
data_2 TYUE
data_3 PEOCV
data_6 SSAT
data_19 TYUEC
.
.

From the above data, if the data in column two is same (eg. data_10, data_21, and data_15 all got SSA), I would only keep the data which appear first (eg. keep data_10 SSA, remove data_21 SSA, and data_15 SSA)
Thanks.
