根据其他列中的条件计算唯一文本值

Question

I have two columns titled "Company" and "Department", example below. The third column is what I would like to create, but I am unsure how. I want the third column to show the number of departments for a given company, and only show that number in the first reference to the company.

Answer 1

If you create a helper column in Column C that concatenates your two cells, you can then use a function like this:

=if(countif($C$1:C7,C7)=1,sumif(….),"")

If that's not an option, you'll need to use an Array which is likely not something you want to do either.

You might be able to capture your requirements with a pivottable too... Not sure.

Answer 2

Try this in D2 and fill down.

=IF(COUNTIF(A$2:A2, A2)=1, SUMPRODUCT((A$2:A$999=A2)/(COUNTIFS(B$2:B$999, B$2:B$999&"", A$2:A$999, A2)+(A$2:A$999<>A2))), "")

Answer 3

You could use a pivot table to get distinct count of column department.

While creating the pivot table you need to add the table to the data model so that you expose "distinct count"
