Hi,

So I have a list of start dates in 1 column and a list of names in another.

I am currently counting the number of start dates that fall into a range, however I also need to only count them 1 time if there is a text duplicate in another column.

So I have a 2 dates in 2 cells that are my between dates and I have this formula to calculate the number of entries that fall between the 2 dates
=COUNTIFS(B:B, ">="&A1, B:B, "<="&B1 )

A1 and B1 contain the date range

What I need to do is only count 1 x David if the date in the second column falls in the range of my dates.

So the below example would count 3

Date Range 1/1/2016 - 30/1/2016

David
13/1/2016
David13/1/2016
David13/1/2016
Fred26/2/2016
Fred26/2/2016
Sam29/1/2016
Sam29/1/2016
Sam29/1/2016
Bill29/1/2016
Bill29/1/2016

Excel Facts

Which lookup functions find a value equal or greater than the lookup value?
MATCH uses -1 to find larger value (lookup table must be sorted ZA). XLOOKUP uses 1 to find values greater and does not need to be sorted.
Control+shift+enter, not just enter:
Rich (BB code):
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(1-($A$2:$A$11=""),IF($B$2:$B$11>=$E2,
    IF($B$2:$B$11<=$F2,MATCH($A$2:$A$11,$A$2:$A$11,0)))),
    ROW($A$2:$A$11)-ROW($A$2)+1),1))
where E2 =1/1/2016 and F2 = 30/1/2016.<strike></strike>
