    Count distinct from multiple columns using a single criterion

    I'm trying to count how many distinct items appear across multiple columns with a single criteria from another column. My ability to use the right words might be keeping me from finding a solution on the web.

    How do I count the distinct entries across multiple columns (skipping over columns with unrelated information)?

    Re: Count distinct from multiple columns using a single criterion

    Hi,

    What tells us which columns contain the relevant information?

    Based on your file, can we safely assume it's always ever other column? Or, if not, do the relevant columns always contain some common string within the header, e.g. "Restaurant"?

    Also, do you have an Office 365 subscription with your Excel 2016?
