I am trying to achieved the desired results on E4. I'm looking for a formula that will count a unique occurrence specific to a date, ignoring duplicates and blanks.
In this case, 19NOV19 has 2 trucks. 20NOV19 has 3 trucks. 21NOV19 has 2 trucks.

Hi,

In cell E4, you can test following:
VBA Code:
=SUMPRODUCT(((1/COUNTIF(B2:B5,B2:B5)*(A2:A5<>""))))+SUMPRODUCT(((1/COUNTIF(B8:B14,B8:B14)*(A8:A14<>""))))+SUMPRODUCT(((1/COUNTIF(B15:B20,B15:B20)*(A15:A20<>""))))
Hope this will help

Do I have to add a formula for each date? or can this be ongoing example: B2:B1000 A2:A1000, ignoring blanks.

Try this array formula
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A2:A1000<>"",IF(B2:B1000<>"",MATCH(A2:A1000&B2:B1000,A2:A1000&B2:B1000,0))),ROW(A2:A1000)-ROW(A2)+1),1))
confirmed with Ctrl+Shift+Enter, not just Enter
