Default Counting for unique values using 2 cells

Hi Keith

Sorry, the formula should have been
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:A2=A2)*($B$2:B2=B2))=1,1,"")
and copied down

The range grows as you copy down, as the second part of each range is
relative, and the first is absolute.

Hi Roger,

I tried your sugestion but it didn't work

21/05/07 Stoke on Trent 1
21/05/07 London
21/05/07 London
22/05/07 Birmingham 1

As you can see from the above example there are 4 visits here. Three
are on
the 21/05/07 and one on the 22/05/07.

The first and fourth lines are fine, but The two london entries sould
have
counted as 1 as well, since he went to London in the 21/05/07 as well
as
Stoke.

Hi Keith

You could add another column to your source table called Count.
With Date of visit in column A, and Town in column B, then
in cell 2 of the new column enter
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($A$2:$A1000=A2)*($B$2:$B1000=B2))= 1,1,"")
and copy down.
Add Count to the Data area of your PT, as Sum of Count.

I have a list of places our reps visit along with who they visited
and
various other things. I then bring this data into a pivot table.

I want to see a total of how many times they visited each Town, but
I
only
want the town counted once of any date, so if they visit London on
the
02/07/07 and went to 4 placed there will be 4 lines in the data but
the pivot
table only counts 1. But if they went to london on the 02/07/07
and
then
again on the 05/07/07 then the pivot table will count 2.

Anybody got any ideas how this can be none?
