Hi all,
Is there a way to count only unique values in a table. So a count of the amount of times a unique reference appears
Ie
| Name |
|---|
| DAN |
| Adam |
| DAN |
| DAVID |
| Adam |
Then the count would show as 3, Ie 3 unique names appear.
Thanks

If you have Microsoft 365 or Office 2021, you can use a formula such as
=COUNTA(UNIQUE(A2:A6))
In older versions you can use a formula such as
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(A2:A6,A2:A6))
(You may have to confirm the formula with Ctrl+Shift+Enter)
Thank you, worked perfectly!
