Default Counting Unique entry from Concatenated list

Where are you concatenating from?

I would think that it's easier to count unique entries in distinct cells
rather than in one

example of Data
--------------------
Col A Col B (By using CONCATENATE function)
A a,a,b,d
B d,d,c,a
C b,h,r

what i need in Col C is based on the criteria in Col A how many unique
entries are there in Col B, i.e.
if Col A = B then how may unique records are there in Col B, Answer is 3
(d,c,a)

what formula should i use for this,
NOTE : Col B each Concatenated entry is seperated by a ","
