Hi All!
I am trying to create a formula where I can count unique "closed dates" (column D) based on if the Next steps " (column c) and "Group Name" are unique (No duplicates) with out using the remove duplicates function. I need the information for other aspects of the report.

In other words I want to know how many unique "close dates" occurred by each group name for all different options in the "next steps" Column. This report has several lines for the same close date and I want to count those as only 1 instance.

For Group F- The correct output would be : 1 cross functional meeting and 2 Drop in visit meeting ( I am ok with a formula for each type of meeting)
For group A - The correct output would be : 1 cross functional meeting because only one can be counted per day

Thank you this works for a single group's count. I am actually trying to get an overall count for all groups listed in column B for the "next steps" with unique close dates. Is that possible?
So total Drop in visits and cross functional team meetings with unique close dates and group names (no duplicates). I have over 3000 rows of data so I need to use whole column references.

I'm guessing how you want the results presented. If this doesn't suit, please give an example what you want. I used the XL2BB add-in to create this mini-sheet. See the link in my signature or the reply box for how to use it.

As far as the whole column references, these are array formulas, and very calculation intensive. Using a whole column reference could bog down your sheet considerably. If you have 3000 lines of data, I'd suggest using a bottom row of say, 10000. Since Excel has over 1,000,000 rows, that cuts the calculations down by 99%.

Also note that a blank date (group E) counts as 1. I can adjust that if need be, at the cost of a longer formula.
