The Fruits contains list - Apple,Banana,Orange and Colors contains list - Red,Black,Orange
so when I multi select the Fruits as well as Colors from drop-down list from cell "G1". Then the "Offset(0, -1)" means "F1" shows me the combine output list as - (Apple, Banana, Orange, Red, Black, Orange). So, The list in cell "F1" contains duplicate value Orange and it prints 2 times. It should pick up only unique items from the selected one and remove the duplicate one and should print in cell F1 as - (Apple, Banana, Orange, Red, Black).

What I have tried:
I have tried different codes to remove the duplicates from an array but does not able to get the suitable code to remove duplicate that can suit to my code and meet my condition.
