Number of unique occurences in two or multiple columns

[ch5677]

Hello!

I want to check the number of unique text occurrences in two separate columns, right now i am only able to do it with one as such:

=SUMPRODUCT((Table1[col1]<>"")/COUNTIF(Table1[col1];Table1[col1]&""))</pre>

Is there any way to do that simply? thanks

Thank You aladin,

I am trying to use it, however i seem to run into the same problem as the OP, about #name, it seems that ARRAYUNION is not defined, but if i open the VBA and go to module i can see

Function ArrayUnion(ParamArray Arg() As Variant) As Variant
' Code: Juan Pablo González
' Spec: Aladin Akyurek
' May 4, 2003
' Ref: TinyURL.com - shorten that long URL into a tiny URL
Dim TempUnion() As Variant
Dim i As Long, Itm As Variant, Ctr As Long
For i = LBound(Arg) To UBound(Arg)
Arg(i) = Arg(i)
If IsArray(Arg(i)) Then
For Each Itm In Arg(i)
Ctr = Ctr + 1
ReDim Preserve TempUnion(1 To Ctr) As Variant
TempUnion(Ctr) = Itm
Next Itm
Else
Ctr = Ctr + 1
ReDim Preserve TempUnion(1 To Ctr) As Variant
TempUnion(Ctr) = Arg(i)
End If
Next i
ArrayUnion = TempUnion
End Function

"HOW TO INSTALL UDFs
------------------------------------
If you are new to UDFs, they are easy to install and use. To install it, simply press ALT+F11 to go into the <ACRONYM title=vBulletin>VB</ACRONYM> editor and, once there, click Insert/Module on its menu bar, then copy/paste the above code into the code window that just opened up. That's it.... you are done.

If you are using XL2007 or above, make sure you save your file as an "Excel Macro-Enabled Workbook (*.xlsm) and answer the "do you want to enable macros" question as "yes" or "OK" (depending on the button label for your version of Excel) the next time you open your workbook."
