  • Counting with two criterias

    From Daddy Sage@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 2 06:19:40 2019
    I have a list like this

    A B
    Var1 Item1
    Var2 Item1
    Var3 Item2
    Var1 Item2
    Var3 Item1
    Var1 Item1

    I would like to count the number of items in Column . Each item can be counted more than once, but only if the name in column a is different. In this case the resultat should be 5 as the last row has same name and Item number as a previous row and is
    already counted.

    Make a column C = A&B and count in that column.

    I can do that, but it will still count all and duplicates are not to be counted more than once.

    I found an array formula that will do the trick, but now I wonder if it cn be done without the additional column, that is using oly A and B?

    =SUM(IF(C1:C17<>"",1/COUNTIF(C1:C17,C1:C17), 0))

    try:

    =SUMPRODUCT((MATCH(A1:A99&"x"&B1:B99,A1:A99&"x"&B1:B99,0)=ROW(1:99))*1)-1
