    formula logic (sumproduct,countif)

    Can someone explain the logic in the formula below? I received it in the weekly excel tip email, I use it, it works, but I don't understand it.

    SUMPRODUCT((E9:E210<>"")/COUNTIF(E9:E210,E9:E210&""))

    I use it to count the number of unique three letter (text) location codes in the range E9:E210.

    Hi,

    the best explanation is shown as Example 6 in http://www.xldynamic.com/source/xld.SUMPRODUCT.html
    which shows the lead-up formulae to this.
