How do I count the number of cells in a range that contain a unique value

e.g. If A1=A, A2=B, A3=A, A4=C, A5=B

then my total should be 3

Lock one reference in a formula
Need 1 part of a formula to always point to the same range? use $ signs: $V$2:$Z$99 will always point to V2:Z99, even after copying

Array-enter...

=SUM(IF(LEN(A1:A5),1/COUNTIF(A1:A5,A1:A5)))

Or, if you install morefunc.xll and you don't have formula generated "" in the range of interest...

=COUNTDIFF(A1:A5)

which is entered as a regular formula...


Note. To array-enter a formula, you need to hit control+shift+enter at the same time, not just enter.
