Default Lookup with multiple results, without duplicates

My data looks like this:

Num1 Num2
56 5
100 7
46 7
46 7
88 7
100 7
75 8

What I need as a result, looking up the value 7 in Num2:

100 46 88 (separate cells in a row)

I found the quoted material (see below) in another post, but that returns:

100 46 46 88 100

Is there anyway to eliminate the duplicates?

Assumptions:

A1:B5 contains your source data

First row contains your headers/labels


Formula:

E2, copied across:

=IF(COLUMNS($E1:E1)<=COUNTIF($A$2:$A$5,$D2),INDEX( $B$2:$B$5,SMALL(IF($A$2
:$A$5=$D2,ROW($A$2:$A$5)-ROW($A$2)+1),COLUMNS($E1:E1))),"")

....where D2 contains the program name of interest. The formula needs to
be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER, not just ENTER. Actually, if you
need to, you can enter your list of program names in Column D, starting
at D2, enter the formula in E2, copy across and down.
