considering a table above, How do I get distinct count of "A" column value where "I" has value "3"?

Answer 1

Heres an alternative that doesn't rely on unique items in column A being consecutive

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A2:A76,A2:A76)>0,(I2:I76=3)*1,0))

Enter as an array formula

Answer 2

If I'm understanding correctly, you want a count of unique entries in column 'A' where column 'I' equals 3.

One (imperfect) solution would be:

=SUM((A1:A999<>A2:A1000)*(I2:I1000=3))+IF(A1=A2,0,IF(I1=3,1,0))

evaluated as an array formula.

Answer 3

Here is a "one shot solution":

• filter column I >> http://www.contextures.com/xlautofilter01.html
• select whole A column
• Excel will display the SUM and the COUNT values on the bottom right

[EDIT] Btw, here are some tips for removing duplicates

[EDIT] Formula solution

• Add a formula in Column J : =IF(COUNTIF(A3:$A$1000,A2)>1,0,1) (this will tell if there is another same value further in the range)
• Drag and drop this formula till the end of your range
• Use a formula like Chris suggested ("kindof" because this is not an array formula): =SUMPRODUCT((I2:I1000=3)*(A2:A1000))
