Maybe a different way
ARRAY formula in cell 'D2'
Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX($A$2:$A$31,SMALL(IF(ISNA(MATCH($A$2:$A$31,$B$2:$B$31,0)),ROW($B$2:$B$31)-ROW($B$2)+1),ROWS(D$1:D1))),"")

ARRAY formula in cell 'E2'
Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX($B$2:$B$31,SMALL(IF(ISNA(MATCH($B$2:$B$31,$A$2:$A$31,0)),ROW($A$2:$A$31)-ROW($A$2)+1),ROWS(E$1:E1))),"")

ARRAY formula in cell 'G2'
Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX($D$2:$D$31,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($G$1:$G1,$D$2:$D$31),0),0)),"")

ARRAY formula in cell 'H2'
Code:
=IFERROR(INDEX($E$2:$E$31,MATCH(0,INDEX(COUNTIF($H$1:$H1,$E$2:$E$31),0),0)),"")
