Hi,
I'm trying to count unique IDs in a table with ID and Resource as two separate columns. In this case I need to count any resources that contain "land" in the resource name (can be anywhere in the resource name).

I have been searching around and came across the UNIQUE and FILTER function for O365 and have tried the following but it shows as an empty result:
Excel Formula:
=COUNT(UNIQUE(FILTER(SOL[ID];ISNUMBER(SEARCH("land";SOL[Resource])))))

I have also tried:
Excel Formula:
=COUNT(UNIQUE(FILTER(SOL[ID];ISNUMBER(SEARCH("land";SOL[Resource];1)))))

Any thoughts on where the formula is wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
Try change COUNT to ROWS:

Excel Formula:
=ROWS(UNIQUE(FILTER(SOL[ID];ISNUMBER(SEARCH("land";SOL[Resource])))))
