Count unique text values
Hi
Please can you tell me what the formula is to count unique text values (ignoring blank cells) in a range?
for example:
CAT
DOG
FISH
CAT
BIRD
HORSE
DOG
I would expect formula to give me 5 as an answer.
Many thanks
Angela

RE: Count unique text values
Hello Angela
Thank you for your question
You could create a quick pivot table based on the column and use count instead of sum. This would give you a quick anser on the total unique ones in the list.
If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.
Kind regards
Cress

A list of all your worksheets is shown. You just click on the one that you want to access. If you have more than 15 worksheets, select in the list and choose your worksheet from hundreds. |
