Default Counting Cells, excluding those which have appeared before.

My god this is a godsend. I really don't know what I've done without
this. Thank you so much! It's guys like you that make EXCEL so much
easier to use. Thanks again!

| Hi there,
|
| I'm wondering how I'd be able to have a formula to calculate the number
| of cells in a row which have appeared once and even though the value
| appears many times in that row, I'd only count it as once. For
| instance:
|
| A
| ----
| M
| M
| N
| E
| F
| G
| T
| S
| T
| S
|
| The result I'd want is 7, not taking into consideration the repeated
| alphabets M, T and S. I wish to only count each alphabet once, not
| matter whether if they are repeated or not.
|
| Thanks!
