    pottyponder  oops, my bad  I didn't account for them being date-time stamps and not just date.  Here is the updated:

    =IFERROR(ROWS(UNIQUE(FILTER(INT('Clacton Cash Draw record'!U:U),'Clacton Cash Draw record'!R:R=Figures!A2))),0)+
IFERROR(ROWS(UNIQUE(FILTER(INT('Dovercourt CashDrawerRecord'!T:T),'Dovercourt CashDrawerRecord'!P:P=Figures!A2))),0)+
IFERROR(ROWS(UNIQUE(FILTER(INT('Ipswich CashDrawerRecord'!T:T),'Ipswich CashDrawerRecord'!P:P=Figures!A2))),0)

    a couple nuances include:

    a) if the same person worked at 2 DIFFERENT locations (i.e. listed on 2 different sheets) the same day)

    b) if the person works after midnight (i.e. 12:30am the 'next' day) it will count as the next day (I didn't check to see if this is even an issue in your data.

Good Morning, thanks again for your continued help. If I refresh the formula it returns a 0's for the days worked.

Many thanks Paul.

    pottyponder  are you using Excel 365?  If you type =UNIQ do you see the UNIQUE function in the pop up help window as shown here:

      Hi, I don't appear to have the unique function in Excel 2016.

        pottyponder as I suspected, you have an older version of Excel that doesn't have the newer functions nor dynamic arrays.  I added a helper column in each sheet to determine if that entry is unique for that day and person and then use this countifs to add them up:

        =COUNTIFS('Clacton Cash Draw record'!R:R,A2,'Clacton Cash Draw record'!AH:AH,TRUE)+
COUNTIFS('Dovercourt CashDrawerRecord'!P:P,A2,'Dovercourt CashDrawerRecord'!AH:AH,TRUE)+
COUNTIFS('Ipswich CashDrawerRecord'!P:P,A2,'Ipswich CashDrawerRecord'!AH:AH,TRUE)
