Unique in a Range

[How_Do_I]

How how would I count the unique (Return in A1) and extract the unique from H6:N16 please (Returns A3 downwards)... Range H6:N16 contains blanks...

Hello,

Your questions are not extremely precise ...

To count Unique values, you can test following :

=[URL="https://exceljet.net/excel-functions/excel-sumproduct-function"]SUMPRODUCT[/URL](1/[URL="https://exceljet.net/excel-functions/excel-countif-function"]COUNTIF[/URL]([SIZE=3]yourRange,yourRange[/SIZE]))

Hope this will help

Hello there, I adjusted the ranges to make the Jeanie a little smaller... Your solution doesn't seem to be working James006...

Hello,

Since you have many Blank cells ...

=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B1:H11,B1:H11&""))

Thanks for that James...

Has anyone got any ideas how to extract the data please...?

 

[James006]

You are welcome ...

How to extract what ...?

 

[Bo_Ry]

Please try at J2 and press Ctrl+Shift+Enter and drag down

=IFERROR(INDEX(INDEX($A$1:$H$11,N(IF(1,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$1:$H$11)*100+COLUMN($A$1:$H$11))/($A$1:$H$11<>""),ROW(J1:J20))/100)),N(IF(1,MOD(AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$1:$H$11)*100+COLUMN($A$1:$H$11))/($A$1:$H$11<>""),ROW(J1:J20)),100)))),MATCH(0,COUNTIF(J$1:J1,INDEX($A$1:$H$11,N(IF(1,AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$1:$H$11)*100+COLUMN($A$1:$H$11))/($A$1:$H$11<>""),ROW(J1:J20))/100)),N(IF(1,MOD(AGGREGATE(15,6,(ROW($A$1:$H$11)*100+COLUMN($A$1:$H$11))/($A$1:$H$11<>""),ROW(J1:J20)),100))))),)),"")

Thanks Bo_Ry, I couldn't get your solution to work... I had a good look around the Internet and found the following which seems to be working and extracting the unique alphabetically (cell A3 dragged down)... I think your count solution counts a blank cell James006 (see cell I1 below)…?

5	Cat			Duck
6	Cooper		Cat	Rhino		Fish
