HI All

Hope you can help.

I've got this formula below in a spreadsheet:

Excel Formula:
=COUNTA(UNIQUE($M$2:$M$10231))

How do I update this to count the visible unique values in the same range?

I've tried what I figured to be a logical solution (as 103 = counta) but it just throws up an error:

Excel Formula:
=subtotal(103,UNIQUE($M$2:$M$10231))

Regards
Tez

edit: 365 version
 

Excel Facts

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Maybe
Excel Formula:
=AGGREGATE(3,7,UNIQUE($M$2:$M$10231))

HI, that's shows a #VALUE! for wrong data type. My data is text if that helps.
It was just a guess, my fault, I can't reconstruct situation on Excel 2010 with example data because of absence of UNIQUE function in this version.
Lets wait for an answer from other forum users...

I've no idea how this works but it does, found it in another thread here and adapted it to my sheet:

Excel Formula:
=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(SUBTOTAL(3,OFFSET(M2:M10231,ROW(M2:M10231)-ROW(M2),0,1)), IF(M2:M10231>"",MATCH("~"&M2:M10231,M2:M10231&"",0))),ROW(M2:M10231)-ROW(M2)+1),1))

I'm baffled by the complexity of it lol but will keep it here for safe keeping.
