Count Unique Strings In Excel Column

Apr 3, 2012

I have a long list of products in an Excel column. I want to count the number of unique items in the list (the cells contain strings, not values).

I know I can use the "Remove Duplicates" tool in the Data menu, and then use a Count function on the resulting list. I wondered if there was an Excel function or formula that would do it, similar to the Frequency function that does the same thing with a list of values.

Count Unique Frequencies Column A For Pacific Values Column B

Dec 19, 2010

I would need to count unique frequencies in column A, but only for a specified value in column B.

Example:

A|B
1|1
1|1
1|1
2|1
2|1
2|2
2|2
3|2
3|2

I am using Excel 2007 and found this formula that counts all unique frequencies in column A: =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A2:A10,A2:A10)>0,1))

In my example, result = 3 Now, I would need to add the possibility to count only for B=1; in my example, result should be = 2.

Count Unique Values In One Column If Other Column Matches?

Oct 18, 2011

How do I count unique values in Column A only if the values in Column B match?

A B
1 a
2 a
1 a
4 b
5 b
1 b

The formula would return "2" for "a", and "3" for b. Basically, there are names in column B, and I want to know how many unique things are in column A for each person. If there is a better way than a formula (pivot table?) that would be great - like a table that has each of the names (from Column B) and the number of unique items from Column A next to each unique name.

Count Unique Words Appearing In A Column Once Per Row

Jan 16, 2010

I would like to modify the below macro so it only counts a word once even if it appears more than once in a row. The reason I want to do this is so I can get a snapshot of the data without certain terms being over-represented.

For example, in the attached example the word 'Microsoft' appears 5 times in row 4 but I only want this to be counted once. In the whole data set Microsoft appears 20 times but only in 7 of the 20 rows so I would like the count to be 7.

The example is set out as follows: In column B there is a description field which in practice will contain consumer complaints and inquiries. To keep the data anonymous the description is filled out with random words and all other columns are blank. The output of Andy Pope's unique word counting macro appears in I:J.

Count The Number Of Unique Numbers In A Column

May 4, 2006

i'm currently trying to count the number of unique numbers in a Column using this formula:

=SUMPRODUCT((A3:A3002<>"")/COUNTIF(A3:A4002;A3:A3002&""))

So far so good.....But I want to add some conditions like only count the numbers that meet the condition say N1:N3000="SE*"

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A3000<>"");(AND(OR(N1:N3000="SE*";N1:N3000="INC*")/COUNTIF(A1:A3000;A1:A3000&""))))

On this one I get #VALUE! and i can't figure out why.

I have also tried to put the AND/OR condition before the actual starting of the array of the SUMPRODUCT but nothing.

Count Unique Records With Criteria From Another Column

Feb 14, 2008

As the title says, I need to count the number of unique records (names) in column A, where column L is = to something specific (X,Y,Z,W, whatever) for some statistics im trying to report.

Please see the attached spreadsheet. For role X statistics, I need a count of the unique names from col A, where col L = X. Based on my sample spreadsheet, the number should be 2. For Role Y, it should be 3.

There is the potential for spaces in the rows, and no one will be 'cross role'

I've got a few different methods to just count unique values with specific criteria in the same column, but I just can't make anything work for specific criteria in another column.

Excel 2013 :: Unique Count In Group SubTotal

Apr 16, 2014

Using Excel 2013.

Is it possible to get a unique count in a group subtotal though the elements in the group may not be unique using Pivot Tables w/o resorting to Power Pivot?

Ex

Group 123
Group 456

Are both members of NorthDivision

If someone is in Group 123 for 9 months, then Group 456 for 3 months, that membership should be reflected in the correct group accordingly.However, that person should only be counted once in the NorthDivision, not twice.

Output:

Group 123 0.75
Group 456 0.25
NorthDivision 1

At first glance, it appears easy, however, what if membership is only total 3 months?Then Group would increment 0.25, but I need NorthDivision to increment 1

Count Unique Entries In One Column That Meet Conditions

Jan 17, 2010

I tried to ask this question yesterday -- but it was a follow-up question stuck at the bottom of a thread. So, with your indulgence, here is a simpler version of the question, complete with an attached spreadsheet, if you wish to use it. I also closed the other thread by marking it "Solved", since it answered my initial question.]

The situation:

I have two columns of data. The data is not in alphabetical order, and every column includes duplicate values.

jones m
martinf
smithf
collinsf
wilsonm
jones m
martinf
hughesm
wilsonm
martinm
smithf
west f
jones m

The challenge:

In one cell, count the number of unique names that appear in the name column 3 or more times... with the additional condition that each unique name (which appears at least 3 times) must include at least one one woman!

The correct result: ...

Count Occurrences Based On Unique Values In Another Column

Mar 18, 2013

I've got two columns, one with policy numbers, the other with error codes.

A policy could be in the list more than once, so I'm counting the number of unique policy numbers with the function

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A10:F10000,A10:A10000)>0,1))

I want to count the number of errors that are NOT code 00 or code 21. Because the error codes are saved as text, I'm counting the number of errors with

=SUMPRODUCT((B10:B10000"21")*(B10:B10000"00")*(B10:B10000""))

The problem is that since a policy number could be listed twice, when I count the errors, I might be counting the same policy as an error twice. This means that I could feasibly end up with more errors than I have unique policies, which doesn't work.

What I'd like to do is only count the number of errors that have unique policy numbers. That is, I only want to count an error the first time it is in the list, based off it's policy number. Is that possible?

Here's my sample data: [URL]

Excel 2003 :: Concatenate Text Strings From Column Using Multiple Criteria Condition (formula)

Dec 20, 2012

I am looking for a way of creating the following conditioned concatenation.

I have two tables, let's call them "summary" and "detailed".

The "detailed" table is something like the following:

ID
VOL

001
01

001
05

[code]....

The "summary" table below gets info from the "detailed" table. The 'ID'is now unique. I'm looking for a formula on the 'VOL (concatenated)' column cells it should get all rows from the "detailed" table with the same ID and then concatenate the 'VOL' column results, comma separated:

ID (unique)
VOL (concatenated)

001
V01, V03, V05

002
V01, V04

003
V06

PS: I have people using this table with office 2003, so compatibility is necessary...

b) ...including only those companies who have at least one "Yes" in column [C8] somewhere among their records

c) ...and who also have at least one value equal or greater than "1" in column [C15] somewhere among their records

Note that that there is no requirement that the "Yes" and the "1" ever appear in the same record.
