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.

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
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

    GrpTR = Table.Group(Filter, {"TRUCK"}, {{"Count", each Table.RowCount(Table.Distinct(_)), type number}}),
    GrpTRS = Table.Group(Table.AddColumn(GrpTR, "Trucks", each "TRUCKS"), {"Trucks"}, {{"Count", each List.Sum([Count]), type number}})

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
