What formula in LibreOffice Calc will count the number of distinct Week_Number occurrences? The answer should be 2.

This question has been asked many times before. One way is to enter the following formula in B6 and then press Ctrl+Shift+Enter:
=SUM(1/COUNTIF(B2:B5,B2:B5))

I prefer using a database such as LibreOffice Base instead, with a simple query:
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT Week_Number) FROM Weeks_Table;

I tried using =SUM(1/COUNTIF(A:A,A:A)) on a column with 2500 rows, and got a divide by zero error for my trouble, (After hours of computation time.). Then I thought of:
=SUMPRODUCT( A$3:A1000000<>OFFSET(A$3:A1000000,-1,0)) which works to find the number of distinct values in SORTED column A2... by finding when the value in cell Ax is different than the value in the cell directly above it (OFFSET(...,-1,0)).
Now if we only had a SORT array function this problem would be solved.
