Function to count unique items in list
I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.
Is there a built-in function in MS-Excel that gives you a count of the unique items in a list? If so, what is it called? If not, how can I create a user defined function to do this? Thanks much in advance. |
Function to count unique items in list
Try this:
For a list in A1:A10 =SUMPRODUCT((A1:A10<"")/COUNTIF(A1:A10,A1:A10&"")) Adjust range references to suit your situation. Does that help? *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP-Pro "XP" wrote: I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.
