Does Excel have Count Distinct options

[Tommy2355]

I know the ability to countdistinct numbers exists in Power Query and other tools but can it be done in Excel? I only work in excel and have not had good luck learning Power Query.  I am just an old Vlookup guy and it does everything I need to do.  I do have the need for countdistinct values in formulas but have not found it in Excel. Appreciate any help here.

@Tommy2355 

=SUM(1/COUNTIF(B5:B13,B5:B13))

You can try this formula. Enter the formula with ctrl+shift+enter if you don't work with Office365 or 2021.

@Tommy2355 The quick answer is yes, you can now get to that.  A new formula called "unique" exists with office 365 and there's an option to restrict only to records which appear only once.  If you're able to share your workbook I can help get you started with the formula.

@Tommy2355 Its pretty easier in Excel-365.

=COUNTA(UNIQUE(A1:A9))
