if you have a range of numbers running down in order, how can you use above formula to see when that number changes, so e.g if you have 1,1,1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3 and you only want to know how many different numbers you have e.g 3

Did you know Excel offers Filter by Selection?
Add the AutoFilter icon to the Quick Access Toolbar. Select a cell containing Apple, click AutoFilter, and you will get all rows with Apple

For a range with no blanks and of numeric type, you can use:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A1:A15,A1:A15)>0,1))

otherwise you need an array-formula:

=SUM(IF(LEN(A1:A15),1/(COUNTIF(A1:A15,A1:A15))))
