Hello,

What formula can I use to count unique values in a single column located on a worksheet named "Prior"?

Example:
Worksheet name ""prior" column D has the following information which is in text format

11111
22222
11111
33333
33333
44444
55555
11111
55555

I need a formula that will count the number f unique values totaling 5

Please help!

Thank you
 

Excel Facts

Return population for a City
If you have a list of cities in A2:A100, use Data, Geography. Then =A2.Population and copy down.
Try
=SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(D2:D10,D2:D10))

Id also like to add into this formula If Column C equals the reference cell C3 then count the unique values in Column D

Example:

Cell C3 = 20181

Column C Column D
20181 11111
20182 22222
20181 22222
20182 33333
20183 11111
20181 22222


Result should be 2.

Thank you!

Make sure that the value in C3 is exactly the same as those in C5:C10
if C5:c10 is numbers stored as text, then C3 must be as well.
