=SUMPRODUCT(($J$5:$J$12=A24)*($L$5:$L$12<"")/COUNTIF($L$5:$L$12,$L$5:$L$12&
""))

which is an array formula, it should be committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, not
just Enter.

Sorry I am not sure I provided enough detail

I need the formula to be able to distiguish between employee ID and
different days worked. AN employee can represent multiple instances of
work
in the same day

SO far I have

SUMPRODUCT(('Employee Data'!$L$5:$L$260<"")/COUNTIF('Employee
Data'!$L$5:$L$260,'Employee Data'!$L$5:$L$260&""))

but that just tells me the nunber of different days in total and does not
seperate by employee

Thanks

Employee Names are located in the sheet and range

('Employee Data'!$J$5:$J$260=$A24)

Where $a24 = unique employee ID

I currently use the following formula below to caculate the number
of days
worked by each emloyee

=SUMPRODUCT(('Employee Data'!$L$5:$L$260<"")/COUNTIF('Employee
Data'!$L$5:$L$260,'Employee Data'!$L$5:$L$260&""))

However this formulae was used when each employee information was
seperated
in seperate sheets.

I need to add a string to this fomrula that calcualtes the number
of
different days worked by each employee (all employee information
is now
compiled in a single sheet

Hopefully this make s sense

Thanks
