Count No of Engagements
I have a table that 1240 rows and 300 columns. The main column field that we
use to summarise the data via pivot tables is the engagement column. The eng# is unique however it can appear in that column more than once because there are services within that engagement and that is also in the table. How can I count the number of engagements but not the number of entries in the table (if I say count then it gives me 1240 obviously). A sample will be: Eng # EMID Service # 12A 1 57477 12A 1 57485 12A 1 60000 13A 50 57486 14A 5 57999 so if i ask for the count of engagements the result I want to get is 3. Thanks |

Count No of Engagements
The below formula should give you the number of engagements...
=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A1240<"")/COUNTIF(A2:A1240,A2:A1240&"")) If this post helps click Yes --------------- Jacob Skaria "ogerriz" wrote: I have a table that 1240 rows and 300 columns.

Count No of Engagements
If you have no blank cells in your data. The formula can be simplified
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(A2:A6,A2:A6)) "ogerriz" wrote: I have a table that 1240 rows and 300 columns. The main column field that we use to summarise the data via pivot tables is the engagement column.
