The reason you cannot reproduce the error with your file may be that the second column is limited to three different texts (B1, B2, and B3) whereas in mine there are more (up to B7 here, but the script should also work with more than seven):
A1 B1 A1 B2 A1 B3 A1 B4 A1 B5 A1 B6 A1 B7 A2 B1 A2 B2 A2 B3 A2 B4 A2 B5 A2 B6 A3 B1 A3 B2 A3 B3 A3 B4 A3 B5 A3 B6 A3 B7 On Saturday, March 20, 2021 at 9:48:26 PM UTC+1 John R M.
