I'm working with about 8000 data, I try to used this formula

count the unique entries in column A, which result 5. (China,

However, i want to count unique entries in, let say P1 only, which should be

If my data contains like "P1-C40XXX", and i want to include it in the
counting. How to achieve it? i've tried
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF((A1:A10<"")*(B1:B10="P1")*(B 1:B10="P1-C40???),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"& ROWS(A1:A10))))0,1))

but it doesn't work. Bob, can you help me?

Try the array formula:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF((A1:A10<"")*((B1:B10="P1")+
(LEFT(B1:B10,6)="P1-C40")),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0)),
ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(A1:A10))))0,1))

Michael,

I read this that you want to include anything starting with P1 in the P1
numbers, so a slight change to Ron's suggestion

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF((A1:A10<"")*(LEFT(B1:B10,2)= "P1"),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,
0)),ROW(INDIRECT("1:"&ROWS(A1:A10))))0,1))

still an array formula.

I read it that way at first; then when I went back and looked at his attempt,
with the P1-C40???, I thought my initial interpretation was incorrect.

Now he has several options.
