    Count Unique Text within Unique Text

    Hello,

    I am trying to count the number of jobs within a specific job group. For instance, I have 3 people assigned to the Job Group "TRX". Two of them are assigned to the same job, within the group "TRX", so the resulting count should be 2, not 3. Please see the attached spreadsheet for a better explanation! Thank you!

    Is that something you can work with?

    Hi Ron, Thank you for responding so quickly!
    I plugged the formula into the sample sheet and it only returns zeros. I am not sure how the formula works so I don't know how to make it count correctly.
