Default Counting non-repeating dates

=countif() will work with larger ranges and any valid dates.

Thanks Dave, but the unique date can be any date from last year, and possibly
even longer ago...
But keep the ideas coming...

=countif(a1:a10,b1)
With the unique date in B1.

You may want to look at creating a pivottable for this.

Can I convert this one easily to have it show the number of times a specific
day DOES repeat? Endresult shoud look like this:
Column1.....Column2
6/17/2006...2
5/24/2006...1
4/6/2006.....5
etc.

I am trying to count dates in a column that do not repeat. For example

3/12/2006
3/14/2006
4/1/2006
4/1/2006
4/12/2006
0
0

I want the count function to return "4" as the number of entries.
Basically, I want it to exclude zeros and repeating dates. Do you have
any
suggestions?
