In order to count the number of unique entries in a range of cells, a very
complicated nested set of functions (SUM, IF, FREQUENCY, MATCH, LEN, etc.) is
required in Excel.

I suggest adding a COUNTU worksheet function that would automatically count
the number of unique data entries. It should have options for counting
numbers, numbers + text, excluding blank cells, etc.

Thanks,
Wayne
