Hello Excel gurus -
I have a spreadsheet with 3 columns that I am looking to count unique values from: User, Task, and DateRange (which I have built as named ranges, btw). What I am trying to do is count the number of unique instances where a user performed a task in a given month.
For example, Joe Smith performed a Task called "Business Analysis" in July. Now, I have the following formula built:
The result I get for just this user is 43. Because Joe performed the same task more than one time, it returns all of the instances but I am only interested in knowing the unique instances, in this case just 1 instance. I have 54 users that I am looking to analyze and determine which users performed a certain task in a given month. When I look at all my team, I see that in July I have 40 out of 54 users who performed the task "Business Analysis" but that is a very manual process for me to do and I have 8 other tasks that I am trying to analyze in the same manner. How can I construct a formula in Excel to evaluate unique instances of a task performed by a user in a single month?
Thanks.
