    Question Count unique over multiple sheets.

    I am trying to count the number of unique entries in a column over multiple sheets. For example...

    SHEET 1
    Apple
    Banana
    Pear

    SHEET 2
    Apple
    Apple
    Apple

    SHEET 3
    Banana
    Cheeseburger
    Pear

    The count I'm looking to get would be 4 beause there are 4 total unique items - Apple, Banana, Pear, Cheeseburger.

    Thanks!

    A bit different approach as I use a macro to find the unique values. To test click macro button "Run Macro" on "Summary" sheet. I've also added more items to the different sheets to test the range setting.

    Re: Count unique over multiple sheets.

    Here's a formula that "works".

    Unfortunately I was unable to come up with something shorter or simpler. I had to settle for atrocious. LOL

    It is array entered. If you aren’t familiar with array-entered formulas array enter means the formula must be committed from edit mode by simultaneously pressing and holding down Ctrl and Shift while hitting Enter.

    Ah! Managed to trim that previous formula down a bit ... from 4 and half lines to 2 and a third. Still array entered.
