Thanks for the formula, but one problem. It works if there are no blank
cells in the range, but in my column there are many blank cells and the
formula gives 0 for answer. Is there some way around this?

Try this:

Entered as an array using the key combination of CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not
just ENTER):

=SUM(N(FREQUENCY(IF(ISTEXT(B1:B13),MATCH(B1:B13,B1 :B13,0)),MATCH(B1:B13,B1:B13,0))0))

Column B has a mix of text and numbers. I want to count unique text
values only.
The answer to the following list would be 8.

P2-2
P2-2
P2-7
P1-3
P-HE
P2-7
6
P11-2
P12-8
P12-8
P12-1
P12-1
P11-3
