I am trying to: display only distinct values in a view

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: hidden link ‎

now display : tv,tv,product2,rentcar,tv
But I'd like to display different values ( "tv" is repeated three times. )

I expected to see: tv , product2 , rentcar, car

I assume this is a View that queries a certain Post Type, to where a certain Field with values TV, product, and so on, is assigned.

The View will produce a loop, and in that loop, all posts will be rendered.
For each Post, all the fields you call by ShortCodes will also be rendered.
Hence, it is the correct output.

If you want to show each field only once, despite how many posts there are in the Loop, you do not have to use a Loop.
You can either display the Post Fields outside the Loop (just above or below the <wpv-loop> tags) or, you can fully neglect to use a View.
