[Anban]

Hi there,

I would like to count how many unique values we have i typed function: =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(B3:B17;B3:B17)>0;1)) and it return value 8. What is OK.

Now i would like to know, how many unique value we have in each day:

I have to get:

Mon. 3
Tue. 5

I've tried a lot of functions; combinations with IF statments, And statments, but i cant find right solution

I can get that numbers to use filters and then for each day use forumla above, but its very boring because i have 103 different days.

Tnx for help and stay cool.

E3, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(A3:A17=D3,B3:B17),B3:B17)>0,1))

where D3 houses a criterion value like Mon followed by a dot.

Aladin, tnx for fast reply

I tried this before i post question and it doesnt work for me...it returns me again 8.

probbably its problem with ctrl+shift+enter, because i dont understand where is problem if i just copied formula. (i am amateur). probbaly i will need more detailed instructions.

It works! But only for Mon.= returns 3

When i try with Tue. it returns me again 8. I typed forumla and then press control+shift+ enter and returns me 8. Why is that?

I'm not really following. Tue. contains 8 unique values and Mon. contains 3. the total number of unique values between the 2 days would be 8.

are you not wanting to include the unique values from the day before? so if 111 222 333 where counted on Monday then don't count them on Tuesday?

I missed the additional condition the first round...

F3, control+shift+enter, not just enter, and copy down:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF($A$3:$A$17=D3,IF(1-ISNUMBER(MATCH($B$3:$B$17,
  IF(ISNUMBER(MATCH($A$3:$A$17,$D$2:D2,0)),$B$3:$B$17),0)),
  MATCH($B$3:$B$17,$B$3:$B$17,0))),ROW($B$3:$B$17)-ROW($B$3)+1),1))
