Hi,

I'm not sure if you want each column or a single count for the 3 columns.
Try these ARRAY formula

All Columns
=SUM(IF(LEN(A1:C23),1/COUNTIF(A1:C23,A1:C23)))

A single column. Drag right for cols B & C
=SUM(IF(LEN(A1:A23),1/COUNTIF(A1:A23,A1:A23)))

These are array formula which must be entered by pressing CTRL+Shift+Enter
'and not just Enter. If you do it correctly then Excel will put curly brackets
'around the formula {}. You can't type these yourself. If you edit the formula
'you must enter it again with CTRL+Shift+Enter.

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

Hi, Sorry, I am looking to have the Unique Number of Names (Column B) where
they are Ternured or New Hire (Column C) for each of the Categories (Column
A) as per example would be something like;
Ternured - DC&D - 3 Names
New Hire - DC&D - 2 Names
Ternured - AIO - 1 Name
New Hire - AIO - 1 Name

There is also a possibility that 1 Name appear in both Categories (Column A),

Hope I have been a bit more clear,
Many Thanks for the help

Hi Mike,

Many Thanks for your reply and help, and the examples are great but I need
to go futher, I need to ascertain the number of Agents (Column B) for each of
the Categories in column A and C and were the same agent can be in both
category in Column A... in fact I need to get the Total Unique Names of New
Hire/Ternured for each of the Category DC&D/AIO.

Regs,

Assuming your data in a1:c23

criteria
E1: DC&D F1: Ternure
E2: DC&D F2: New Hire
and so on...

G1:
=SUM(N(FREQUENCY(IF(($A$1:$A$23=E1)*($C$1:$C$23=F1 ),MATCH($B$1:$B$23,$B$1:$B$23,)),MATCH($B$1:$B$23, $B$1:$B$23,))0))

Hi,

Again many Thanks, and yes the formula you gave me is great and very useful
for other applications I have, but for this particular exercise I need to
have the result as:

DC&D AIO
New Hire 2 1
Ternure 3 1

I need to ascertain the Number of New Hires and Ternured in each category.

Thanks,
