Default Count Unique records based on the Criteria in another colum

Try something like this:

With your posted list in A1:B10

Then
D1: Any

Put this ARRAY FORMULA* in
E1:
=COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF($A$1:$A$10=D1,IF($B$1:$B$10<"",MATCH ($B$1:$B$10,$B$1:$B$10,0))),ROW($B$1:$B$10)-ROW($B$1)+1))

That formula returns the count of unique Col_B items where their
corresponding Col_A value matches the value in D1.

*Note: For array formulas, hold down [Ctrl] and [Shift] when you press
[Enter], instead of just pressing [Enter].

Is that something you can work with?
