I have this set of data. I want to do two things:
1. calculate the number of total unique clients by Quarter and SR
2. calculate the number of total unique clients by Quarter only

Eric,

The formula in J2 seems perfect to me but i think it should return 3, not 4 - maybe you have pasted the wrong cell.

Good catch Marcelo. After I posted the formulas, I noticed that the J2 formula was pointing to the wrong cell, so I fixed it. But I didn't fix the result cell, so that's why it shows incorrectly. Thanks for the assist.
