Counting unique values in column
I have a column containing text values which could be unique, repetitive or
some rows could be empty. I need a formula that will count the total number of unique values only, (not counting the empty cells) e.g. in the example below, the answer will be "3": Column A Fish Fish (Empty) Chicken Rat Chicken (Empty) |
