Use functions to count the number of distinct values.
To complete this problem, combine the functions IF, SUM, FREQUENCY, MATCH, and LEN:
The IF function should be used to assign a value of 1 to each true condition.
By utilizing the SUM function, you may add the total.
Use the FREQUENCY function to count the number of distinct values. Text and zeros are ignored by the FREQUENCY function. This function returns a number equal to the number of occurrences of a specific value for the first time that value is encountered. This function returns a zero for each subsequent occurrence of that same value.
Using the MATCH function, you may find out where a text value is in a range. After that, the value returned is used as.
The MATCH function returns the position of a text value in a range. This value is subsequently passed as an argument to the FREQUENCY function, which evaluates the matching text values.
The LEN function can be used to find blank cells. The length of blank cells is 0.
Using a filter, count how many distinct values there are.
You can paste the unique values from a column of data into a new location using the Advanced Filter dialogue box. The number of items in the new range can then be counted using the ROWS function.
Make sure the active cell is in a table, or select a range of cells.
Make sure there's a column header in the range of cells.
Click Advanced from the Data tab's Sort & Filter group.
A dialogue window for the Advanced Filter appears.
Copy to a new location by clicking the Copy button.
Fill in a cell reference in the Copy to box.
Alternatively, you can temporarily conceal the dialogue box by clicking the Collapse Dialog Button picture, then selecting a cell on the worksheet and pressing the Expand Dialog Button image.
Click OK after checking the box that says "Unique records only."
Beginning with the cell you indicated in the Copy to box, the unique values from the selected range are copied to the new place.
Enter the ROWS function in the blank cell just below the range's last cell. As the parameter, paste the range of unique values you just copied, without the column heading. If the range of unique values is B2:B45, for example, you would type =ROWS (B2:B45).
