This functions isn't working properly, developer please test with this values:
1.
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Rosen"& "¶" &
"Rosen"& "¶" &
"Rosen"& "¶" &
"Rosen"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶" &
"Jon"& "¶"

No result

2.
"AAA"&"¶"&
"BBB"&"¶"&
"AAA"&"¶"&
"AAA"&"¶"&
"AAA"&"¶"&
"AAA"

Result: "BBB", where is "AAA".
This isn't working with same values greater than 2.
"AAA"&"¶"&
"BBB"&"¶"&
"BBB"&"¶"&
"BBB"&"¶"
Result is "AAA" without "BBB"

Thank you for comment.

1.
Here is not only duplicate values. So, no data comes back.
Is this correct.

2.
> Result is "AAA" without "BBB"

I tried.
Result is "BBB¶AAA ;"
Do the same as the result of me?

If you have a different result, you should have something wrong.
