Count unique, based on values in other columns

[MartinL]

I have been searching onthis for a couple of day and see today that a similar question is being asked.
If only pivot tables would do this.

I have 5 columns
Country, Retail Chain, Store, Product Group, Product

For completeness, what I am trying to achieve is:

1. analyse how many different product groups each country sell
2. analyse how many different products each country sell
3. analyse how many different product groups each Retail chain sell by country
4. analyse how many different products each Retail chain sell by country
5. analyse how many different product groups each Store sell by country by Retail Chain
6. analyse how many different products each Store sell by country by Retail Chain

the last two shouldnt need by Retail Chain, but you can never be too sure.
If I can get any one working correctly the others should be simple.

I am not sure if the UNQn colums should show 1 for every unique entry so the PT sums them or sums them each time so the PT displays MAX (as each value will be the same)

I have a series of Pivot Tables & Charts that are run over a Table something like this

Country	RetChain	Store	ProdGrp	Prod	UNQ1	UNQ2	UNQ3	UNQ4	UNQ5	UNQ6
Iceland	Chain 1	Store 1	Widget 1	Prod A1
Iceland	Chain 1	Store 1	Widget 1	Prod A2
Iceland	Chain 1	Store 1	Widget 2	Prod B1
Iceland	Chain 1	Store 2	Widget 3	Prod C1
Iceland	Chain 2	Store 3	Widget 1	Prod A1
Iceland	Chain 3	Store 4	Widget 2	Prod B1
Netherlands	Chain 1	Store 5	Widget 1	Prod A1
Netherlands	Chain 4	Store 6	Widget 1	Prod A3
Netherlands	Chain 5	Store 7	Widget 2	Prod B1
Example solution
	Q.1	Q.2
Country	ProdGrp	Products
Iceland	3	4
Netherlands	2	3
		Q.3	Q.4
Country	RetChain	ProdGrp	Products
Iceland	Chain 1	3	4
Iceland	Chain 2	1	1
Iceland	Chain 3	1	1
Netherlands	Chain 1	1	1
Netherlands	Chain 4	1	1
Netherlands	Chain 5	1	1

<COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 63pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3072" span=2 width=84><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=5 width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 63pt; mso-width-source: userset; mso-width-alt: 3072" width=84><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" span=3 width=64><TBODY>
</TBODY>

Can anyone help

Sheet8

The formula in B15 needs entering with ctrl shift enter NOT just enter, it can then be copied across and down.
The formula in C19 needs entering with ctrl shift enter NOT just enter, it can then be copied across and down.

I'm unsure as to what you requre in the range F2:K10 with headers UNIQ.

Take a look here for an explanation on the above formulas....
