To remove duplicate words within a cell

Hi,

Im trying to remove duplicate words within a cell. Even if the word repeats more than twice or thrice, etc., the output should be once. I have attached the result in green shaded in the sample file.

WS function or UDF is fine.

Please help me out.

Hi, Ramanan Arumugam!
And what about removing the 2 "oo" from Goodlife or the 2 "tt" from Getty, or the 2 "u" from Untucked, and so on? Which is the criteria you'd use to differentiate those cases from GoodLifeGoodLife, for example?
Regards!
 
Hi Oldchippy,

We might have to tweak your formula a bit as this fails for the text like "GetGrandLookGetGrandLook".
 
I am looking for the same solution . . .

I have tried the solution by oldchippy. A spreadsheet showing the result is attached.

When there are dupes, it cuts off the last word and part of another. When there are no dupes, it shows #Value!, which is not a problem, since that column could be deleted, after correcting the dupes.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
