Please help!!!


Formula to go in cell AR2....


I need to look up the contents in AP2 in column AP and count the associated unique job numbers in column S. I would also like to add the condition that column A equals "CCAP". Is this possible?

Hopefully this makes sense... I am cross eyed at this point.

TIA

Convert text numbers to real numbers
Select a column containing text numbers. Press Alt+D E F to quickly convert text to numbers. Faster than "Convert to Number"
Thank you.

Sample job number: A014BEJ

I entered your formula and it returned mostly #N/A's and some 0's. Any other ideas?

Try changing Barry's formula to (since your job numbers are not numeric).
[TABLE="width: 925"]
<colgroup><col width="925"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
[TD="width: 925"][/TD]
[/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]
Code:
[TABLE="width: 925"]
<colgroup><col width="925"></colgroup><tbody>[TR]
   [TD="width: 925"]=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(AP$2:AP$100=AP2,IF(A$2:A$100="CCAP",MATCH($S$2:$S$100,$S$2:$S$100,0))),ROW($S$2:$S$100)-ROW($S$2)+1),1))[/TD]
 [/TR]
</tbody>[/TABLE]

Thank you. Unfortunately something went wrong as I got incorrect counts. For example the formula returned a 10, when their were only 3 unique job numbers. Whats even more strange is that there were only 6 rows that matched the column AP condition?
