Or, if you want to count the number of occurrences of each value, create a pivot table based on your column. Add the column to both the Rows area and the Values area.

Which version of Excel/Office do you have? Excel in Microsoft 365 has a new function UNIQUE that will return a list of unique items in a range. COUNTA(UNIQUE(...)) can be used to count unique items.
