Need a formula to count unique values from one column based off of another column
Hello! This question is for a web-based Excel which I understand does not have all of the same features as a desktop Excel.
I need to create a formula that counts unique values in one column (say, column O) based off of values in another column (say, column B). I currently have a working countif function as =countif($O:$O), A3), where A3 is the value to look for (in this case). Column O will have repeating values such as Waiting, Pending, Approved. Column B will have repeating values such as Customer A, Customer B, Customer C. As an example, I want to find out how many customers have a status of Waiting but I only want that status to be counted once per customer. So if Customer A has 5 rows with a status of Waiting, I only want it to be counted once. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Try below formula that can help to
=COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(B:B, O:O = "Waiting")))count the unique values in Column B based on the status in Column O
