how do i find out unique charecters in a colum of excel 2003
Hi,
Can someone please tell me why I can't use the following to solve this problem? =COUNTIF(LEFT(A1:A10,4),LEFT(A1,4)) Regards - Dave.

Dave,
Because CountIf doesn't work that way... i.e., it does not process inner arrays. But this works: =SUMPRODUCT(--(LEFT(A1:A10,4)=LEFT(A1,4))) HTH, Bernie MS Excel MVP "Dave" wrote in message ...

Try one of these...
If you have 1000's of rows of data this one may not be the best way to go: =IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A2,A2)1,"yes","no") This one is a bit more efficient than the one above if you have 1000's of rows of data: =IF(MATCH(A2,A:A,0)=ROW(),"no","yes") Copy down as needed -- Biff Microsoft Excel MVP "Arun" wrote in message ... i am entering names+a 4 digit no (eg Arun1254) in one colum can u help me to find the text is reapeted comming rows my datas are not sorted ..

Thanks Bernie,
Countif not processing inner arrays explains a bunch of other issues I've been having. Dave.
