Hello - i am trying to write an equation that counts the number of unique values with a criteria associated with it. Below is an example data set, what I want to count is a number of unique animals (column A) but based on a criteria (column B). Using the below I would want an equation that counted the number of unique animals associated with Ed
Ed = 3 animals

Animal Person
Dog Ed
Cat Rob
Frog Jan
Monkey James
Dog Ed
Dog Rob
Cat Ed
Elephant Ed

Thanks!

Will the fill handle fill 1, 2, 3?
Yes! Type 1 in a cell. Hold down Ctrl while you drag the fill handle.
This is an array formula and must be entered with CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER.

You're welcome.
You could add a 2nd criteria. How about an example of what you want to add.

if we use the origional example but add a criteria in column C that says a Y or N. Then I would want the unique count of animals that is attributed to Ed and with a Y
