    Count distinct?

    I would like excel to count a range of cells and return the number of different values.
    For example, if the below values were in ceels which made up the range, then the number of different values would be 3. FSG00326 appears in 2 cells but is only counted once as it only constitutes one value.

    FSG00326
    FSG00326
    FSG00295
    FSG00842

    Does anyone know how to do this in 2003?

    Thanks

    With data in A2:A100 try this formula

    =SUMPRODUCT((A2:A100<>"")/COUNTIF(A2:A100,A2:A100&""))

    Just tried that but it's not working. Just get the error #N/A.

    Thanks for the suggestion though.

    Any more offers?

    It's working now - thanks. I think it's because I had some filters covering the table area which was stopping it from working.

    Thanks for the help.
