Hello,

I have a range of numbers, say from a1 to a100. I would like to have a formula wich counts the unique numbers in this range

ex.
1002
1005
1008
1002
1005

number of unique numbers = 3

thanks, steven

The FREQUENCY formula that follows will give you the desired count:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A1:A10,A1:A10)>0,1))

where A1:A10 houses the numbers of ýnterest.

It's

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0),MATCH(A1:A10,A1:A10,0))>0,1))
