Eliminating duplicated values in a cell Array

My cel Array looks as such:

S = {'ABS' ; 'First'; 'input'; 'ABS'}

it is a column array instead of a row. I want to eliminate any and all duplicate values in the cell array. I tried the unique function with and without cell2mat and I am getting an error both ways. What is the best way I can go about eliminating duplicate values in my cell array?

S = {'ABS' ; 'First'; 'input'; 'ABS'};
result=unique(S)

result

result =
  3×1 cell array
    'ABS'
    'First'
    'input'

Tried that and I am getting this error: Input A must be a cell array of character vectors.

Can you share the code screenshot and error message?

Sure. I cant pos the full code, but esentially I am creating an app that is getting the name of blocks from a simulink block. In the below code I am getting the block type from all the blocks in a specific library

Error using cell/unique (line 85)

Input A must be a cell array of character vectors.

Error in blockDetection (line 56)

result = unique(ControlsBlocksType);

Error in modelCheck/RunCleanupButtonPushed (line 187)

blockDetection(app);

Error in appdesigner.internal.service.AppManagementService/tryCallback (line 207)

callback(app, event);

ControlsBlocksType = ControlsBlocksType';
result = unique(ControlsBlocksType);

@Deon Hargrove: please upload the cell array in a .mat file by clicking the paperclip button.
