I suspect it is something to do with the length of the "numeric" strings. If I use Conditional Formatting, it highlights entries as duplicates even though they are not.
If you have, by any chance, upgraded to 365, you could use this:Formula:

These are treated as duplicates:
190802203051017408042864
190802203051017408043425
190802203051017408043681
190802203051017408043796
Only this one is included using your formula
190802203051017408043796
It appears to be ignoring the last four digits. So, the unique part is being treated as 19080220305101740804

For Excel 2007+
If the differences between the cells mainly come from characters on the right, we can take up to 20 characters from the right to compare.
