Eliminating Duplicates in SharePoint XSLT Data Views or Drop-downs
I may want to create a custom dashboard enumerating all of the unique values from a column in a list. In my example I have a list of possible releases of software where each has a Product column. I want to build a menu of all of the Products from this list.

<xsl:templatename="dvt_1.rowview">
<xsl:variablename="NewGroup"select="ddwrt:NameChanged(string(@Your_x0020_Column),0)"/>
<xsl:iftest="string-length($NewGroup)">
<xsl:value-ofselect="@Your_x0020_Column"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
