Hi, everyone. So, I am working on multiple columns of data that needs to be a part of a formula. Let's say I have columns A to E - each of the columns correspond to a certain type of data. Now, we have column F where we need the formula to be added so that each cell for each row shows the value "1" counting each time a unique set of values appear for columns A to E. Here's how I want it to look like:

Code: 
[TABLE="width: 471"]

So, basically, I want the value "1" to appear in column F (Count of Unique Values) whenever status is "Active". I need the formula to disregard counting the values in different rows as a unique set of values if the status is "Closed". Cell value should be blank if status is closed.

I tried the formula below but it still counts the sets of values in a row even if the Status is "Closed":

Code: 
=IF(SUMPRODUCT(($D$2:$D2="Active")*($C$2:$C2=C2)*($A$2:$A2=A2)*($B$2:$B2=B2))>1,"",1)

Thanks!

Hi, Aladin. Those 1s are desired values. I need them so when I "pivot" the table I can manipulate the data and provide me with the "count" of property codes (Column E) of buildings (Column A) in specific addresses (Column B - since buildings can have the same names but are located in different places), that are available in a certain state(Column C), and that are active (Column D).

Are those 1's desired values or the calculations of your own formula?

If so, why is the last occurrence of Lytton with Closed is 1?

Ah, I see. You may ignore that. Nevertheless, the goal is still the same. Sorry about the mix up.

Try this instead:

What version of Excel are you using?

Edit: Never mind the above question. Consider using a helper column to keep the formulas simpler and calculation overheads lower.
Both formulas copied down. The helper column, G, could be hidden once populated.
