One way...

Array entered** :

=COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF(A2:A10=301,IF(B2:B10="A",IF(C2:C10=1, D2:D10))),D2:D10))

** array formulas need to be entered using the key combination of
CTRL,SHIFT,ENTER (not just ENTER). Hold down both the CTRL key and the SHIFT
key then hit ENTER.

Hi, hope someone can help,

I have data that has multiple entrys for a date, but I only want to count
each day as one using a formula in excel 2007.

A B C D
1 Dept Crew Type Date
2 301 A 1 1/02/2009
3 302 C 2 1/02/2009
4 301 A 1 1/02/2009
5 301 A 1 2/02/2009
6 302 C 2 1/02/2009
7 303 D 2 1/02/2009
8 301 B 1 9/02/2009
9 301 A 2 1/02/2009
10 303 D 2 9/02/2009

E.g. I want to know how many days a crew worked in the above, 'Dept' =
"301", 'Crew' = "A", 'Type' = "1", how many days. Would equal 2 days.
