Hi, Thanks for your reply. However my data is not actually an excel number. It is an identity. This list is a production BOM. Some identities have two or more points like 1.2.1 or 1.4.3.1

- alparslanMay 03, 2020Copper ContributorThank you. It solved the issue. I understand that CountIf is a little bit dangerous. 1.1 and 1.20 is same value on date. 1.1.20. I will prefer to use exact function to count values. I learned =SUMPRODUCT(EXACT(A2;A2:A21)*1) formula is ok also.
