Excel Unique Values How To Use Formulas

This is intentional we want to count items already in the unique list, and we cant include the current cell without creating a circular reference.

When given multiple criteria, COUNTIF will return multiple results in an array.

For this, we use MATCH, set up for exact match, to find zero values.

If we put the arrays created by COUNTIF above into MATCH, here is what we get.

This works, because MATCH always returns the first match when there are duplicates.

To extract a list of unique items that appear just once in the source data, you can use a formula like this.

As an additional bonus, this formula is not an array formula, and not volatile.

In the example show, the formula in G7 is: LOOKUP ( 2, 1 ( item F7 ), price ) where item is the named.

In the example shown, the formula in H6 is: SUM ( COUNTIFS ( D4:D11, complete, pending )) How this formula works.

You can use INDEX to retrieve individual values or entire rows and columns.

MATCH supports approximate and exact matching, and wildcards ( ) for partial matches.

COUNTIF can be used to count cells that contain dates, numbers, and text.

LOOKUPs default behavior makes it useful for solving certain problems.
