Hi, Please use dput() to provide your data, as it can get somewhat mangled by copy and pasting, especially if you post in HTML (as you are asked not to do in the posting guide).
What is a unique element? is "B4:B5:B6" an element, or are "B4" and "B5" each elements? That is, what is the result you expect to obtain for the sample data you provided? What code have you tried? I would think table() might be involved, and possibly strsplit(), but will refrain from putting more time into this until you provide a reproducible dataset with dput() and some clearer idea of your intent.
