Excel unique function

Copper Contributor

Hey,

i want to count the numbers of unique entries in a row. On the Internet i've seen the use of =COUNTA(UNIQUE(...)) and tried it, but i do get 1 as a result everytime. If I only use the unique-function i do get "#NAME". Also the unique function is not in the list of functions. Do I have a "wrong" Version? I tried it on other PC's with other Versions but it still won't work.

How can I fix it? Or maybe there is a workaround.

Count unique values

To count unique values in a set of data, you can use the UNIQUE function together with the COUNTA function. In the example shown, the formula in F5 is:

=COUNTA(UNIQUE(B5:B16))
