one way:

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A99<"")/COUNTIF(A1:A99,A1:A99&""))

(adjust the range to match, but don't use the whole column)

I need a formula that will count all the different instances of a value in a
column. For example, in the example below, the count would be 3 because, "1,"
though it occurs thrice, will only be counted once.

Col A
1
1
2
3
1

Thanks in advance,
