Default Count Unique Values in 1 Column based on Date Range in another Column

It doesn't appear to take conditional arguments.

See your original post.

Thanks to All.

I'm not trying to create confusion or hardship for anyone with multiple
posts.

I just wanted to know if I could use the COUNTU function to find uniques
in a column which fall between dates in another column.

THanks,
Brian

There's more to this than what the OP stated!

In another post they wanted to count uniques for the *entire* column.

Assuming that the dates are true date values (day, month, and year), try
the following, which need to be confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER...

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(YEAR(A2:A100)=2008,IF(B2:B100 <"",MATCH("~"&B2:B100,
B2:B100&""))),ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2)+1),1))

or

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A2:A100=DATE(2008,1,1),IF(A2 :A100<=DATE(2008,12,31)
,IF(B2:B100<"",MATCH("~"&B2:B100,B2:B100&"",0)))) ,ROW(B2:B100)-ROW(B2)+1
),1))

Howdy All,

I'm use the CountU function to count unique values in a column and it
works
great!

Now what I want to do is count the unique values in Column B which
occur
between a specific date range in Column A.

Column A contains dates from 2005 through 2009.

Column B contains Order Numbers for each date.

I want to count the unique values in column B for only 2008.

Any Ideas?

Thanks,
Brian
