    Frequency Function Issue

    Good Morning Everyone,

    Not sure if the Frequency function supports what i am trying to achieve, and i appreciate that there is an easier way to get a count of unigue numbers using other functions, but trying to understand why Frequency wont support this formula.

    What i am trying to achieve is get a unique count from a list of P/O numbers where there are lots of duplicates as a P/O No. could be specific to a single line item or have multiple line entries.

    Now first if the formula that works provided i enter as an array using control + shift + enter

    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(B7:B1050,B7:B1050,0),MATCH(B7:B1050,B7:B1050,0))>0,1))

    However, when i enter the following formula using structured references as my data is embedded in a table i get the #N/A response if entered normally or as an array.

    =SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(Table1[[#Headers],[PO Number (Header)]:[PO Number (Header)]],0),MATCH(Table1[[#Headers],[PO Number (Header)]:[PO Number (Header)]],0))>0,1))

    So does the Frequency function not work with structured references?, if that is the case good to know for my onward excel learning path.

    Thanks in anticipation

    Richard.

    Re: Frequency Function Issue

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Administrative Note:

    Members will tailor the solutions they offer to the version of Office (Excel) that you have. Please check that your forum profile is up-to-date in this respect. If you aren't sure, in Excel go to File | Account and report what it says below the MS logo at the top of that page. If your version is for Mac, please also state this. Thanks.
