Count unique text values

Hi
Please can you tell me what the formula is to count unique text values (ignoring blank cells) in a range?
for example:

CAT
DOG
FISH
CAT
BIRD
HORSE

DOG

I would expect formula to give me 5 as an answer.

Many thanks

Angela

RE: Count unique text values

Hello Angela
Thank you for your question

You could create a quick pivot table based on the column and use count instead of sum. This would give you a quick anser on the total unique ones in the list.

If this resolves your question, please mark it as resolved. If not, please reply with more information.

Kind regards
Cress
