Hi,

How can I count the number of different dates in a column? For example if I had:

03-Jul-12
03-Jul-12
03-Jul-12
04-Jul-12
04-Jul-12
04-Jul-12
05-Jul-12

<tbody>
</tbody>

The formula would return "3".

Thanks!
 

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
If your dates are always in sort order, as shown, then I think this formula will work for you...

=SUMPRODUCT(1*(A1:A7<>A2:A8))

Yes, they are in sort order. Both of these are extremely helpful. Thank you very much!

Try this...

=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(A2:A8,A2:A8)>0))
