Hi there,

I am trying to count the number of values in a column (A2:A217) ignoring
duplicated values. As an eg, applying this to the data below I would expect
the count value to be 3. Please can anyone help, many thanks, Matt

00013270
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00018038
00023049
00023049
00023049



Try this formula:

=SUM(1/COUNTIF(A2:A217,A2:A217))

Hope this helps / Lars-Åke
