Yes. However, I would use the SUMPRODUCT formula that was posted in your
thread:

=SUMPRODUCT((Range<"")/COUNTIF(Range,Range&""))

Do I now plug that in like this, Range is the name of the range
{=SUM(IF(Range<"",1/COUNTIF(Range,Range)))}

Sounds like you want to use a dynamic range. See this:

How do you adjust this to account for columns that may be different in
length? One time you need A375 and the next time you use it is A584.

It's the SumProduct version of Hager's formula extended to take care
of
formula-blanks and empty cells,

{=SUM(IF(A1:A10<"",1/COUNTIF(A1:A10,A1:A10)))}

One way

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10<"")/COUNTIF(A1:A10,A1:A10&""))
