Default Count unique names in a list

One way...

=SUMPRODUCT((A2:A20<"")/COUNTIF(A2:A20,A2:A20&""))

For range of B1:B20.

=SUMPRODUCT((B1:B20<"")/COUNTIF(B1:B20,B1:B10&""))

Brad

Thanks this works fine

What would the formula be if I also needed to count all the unique names by
month. The months are in col c. the names appear multiple times in the file
at least once in each month - I only want to count John Smith once in January
but his name appears 4 times.

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.
