Try...

B1, copied down:

=INDEX($A$1:$A$6,MATCH(SMALL(IF(($A$1:$A$6<"")*(C OUNTIF(OFFSET($A$1,0,0,ROW($A$1:$A$6)-ROW($A$1)+1),$A$1:$A$6)=1),COUNTIF($A$1:$A$6,"<"&$ A$1:$A$6)),ROWS($B$1:B1)),COUNTIF($A$1:$A$6,"<"&$A $1:$A$6),0))

hy,
try to:
=INDEX(text,MATCH(SMALL(IF(MATCH(text,text,)=ROW(t ext),1)*COUNTIF(text,"<="&
text),ROW(text)+ROWS(text)-SUM(1/COUNTIF(text,text))),COUNTIF(text,"<="&text
),))

text is your range
you must enter this formula as array fomrulas in a range.
