Hello Everyone,

Column A contains multiple file ID numbers which can be repeated .

Column B contains the operator name who will work on the these file numbers.

I want to count the total number of unique file ID numbers which an operator will work on (i.e. not counting the repeated file ID numbers again).

File IDOperator Name
123ABC
John
123ABDAdam
123ABBAlex
123ABCJohn
123ABCJohn
123ABBJohn
123ABDJohn
123ABDAdam

<tbody>
</tbody>

As you can see in this example there are 3 different File IDs and three different operators. John has worked on all three of them multiple times. However, I want the output for total number of unique files John has worked on to be 3.

Can someone please help me with the formula?

Thank you!
