--- Comment #2 from Eike Rathke <[email protected]> ---
I don't think a UNIQUE function is a good idea. Such function would need to
return an array that would change its size with data change. An array formula
has a fixed return size, while removing entries from that return array and
displaying #N/A for non-available entries is possible, adding entries is not.
Formulas are not meant to overwrite cells that do not belong to the formula.

It's also not "some strange set up and an advanced filter" you need. All you
have to do is select the data range, go to Data->Filter->StandardFilter, select
the field to query with Condition '=' and the special value "Not Empty", and in
More Options choose "No duplication" and let the output be generated starting
at a defined cell reference with "Copy results to". That is the standard
spreadsheet procedure to generate a list of unique values from a set of data.
