Is it possible in XPATH to select a list of unique element from a node where there are many of the same?

<Deserts>
 <Desert Code="C1">Popsicle<Desert>
 <Desert Code="H2">Ice Cream<Desert>
 <Desert Code="C1">Popsicle<Desert>
 <Desert Code="T1">Cheese Cake<Desert>
</Deserts>

In this example I want the resulting list to have only 3 nodes (Popsicle / Ice Cream / Cheese Cake).

How can I select such a list with Xpath?

    Try the following xpath:

    /Deserts/Desert[not(@Code=preceding-sibling::Desert/@Code)]
    

    It will return distinct deserts by checking the Desert Code attribute.
