How to append data to a lookup without overwriting anything AND also not adding duplicate data entries into the lookup?

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a method of appending data to a lookup, but not overwriting anything in the lookup AND also not adding duplicate data entries into the lookup?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Cheers,
Robbie
