Count Unique Occurences

[Sean]

I received the following formula which counts the number of unique
occurences within my Range "Range1" but I'm getting a #N/A error, yet
when I go into the formula edit, it shows me a result of 16, which is
correct

Why would this be (BTW it has worked correcly for 8 weeks)

{=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(IF(LEN(Range1)>0,MATCH(Range1,Range1,0),""),IF(LEN(Range1)>0,MATCH(Range1,Range1,0),""))>0,1))}

Have you edited it and not array edited it? In other words, did you use
Ctrl-Shift-Enter?

This is an array formula, so you need to commit it with CTRL-SHIFT-
ENTER when you type it in or subsequently edit it. You should not type
the curly brackets around the formula yourself.

Another thing is to check that the data has a consistent format.

Hope this helps.

Nope, didn't edit it and yes I committed with Ctrl-Shift

Its working now!

I had changed some data (which was referenced to another workbook) and
that is where my #N/A appeared. Although it was linked correctly, my
Count formula only worked when I closed the workbook and re-opened it
again.

Is that strange?
