Default count unique with mulitple criteria

Great job Domenic !

I learned a new trick from your formula...

Thanks !

I have a list of data.

Mike JOB1
Karen JOB2
Unfilled JOB1
Unfilled JOB2
Unfilled JOB1
Alex JOB1
Alex JOB1


I'll assume this is a 2-column range with defined name TBL.

I want to count the unique person that works on a job, however "unfilled"
always denotes a new person and therefore I do not want it to be unique. eg.
searching for "JOB 1" should give me 4 because i do not want to count Alex
twice but I do want to count Unfilled twice.


No ancillary cells needed. If the job code sought were entered in a
cell named JOB, try the following array formula.

=COUNT(1/(INDEX(TBL,0,2)=JOB)/(IF(INDEX(TBL,0,1)="Unfilled",ROW(TBL),
MATCH(INDEX(TBL,0,1),INDEX(TBL,0,1),0)-1+MIN(ROW(TBL))=ROW(TBL))))


If the data can contain the following...

Mike JOB1
Karen JOB2
Unfilled JOB1
Unfilled JOB2
Unfilled JOB1
Alex JOB2 ---
Alex JOB1 ---

....I believe the unique count should be 4. If this is correct, the
above formula will fail and return 3. Similar to the above formula,
mine can be shortened to...

=COUNT(1/FREQUENCY(IF(B$2:B$8=D2,IF(A$2:A$8="Unfilled",ROW( A$2:A$8)-ROW(A
$2)+1,MATCH(A$2:A$8,A$2:A$8,0))),ROW(A$2:A$8)-ROW(A$2)+1))

....confirmed with CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER.

Hope this helps!

Don,

" i do not want to count Alex twice"

Bernie

I thought the question was for a total of all jobs but only counting
unfilled once. So, where does is fail??

Or mine could be corrected to

=COUNT(1/(INDEX(TBL,0,2)=JOB)/IF(INDEX(TBL,0,1)="Unfilled",1,MATCH(INDEX(TBL,0,1 ),
IF(INDEX(TBL,0,2)=JOB,INDEX(TBL,0,1)),0)-1+MIN(ROW(TBL))=ROW(TBL)))

If I were to hardcode the ranges, it reduces to

=COUNT(1/($B2:$B8=D2)/IF($A2:$A8="Unfilled",1,MATCH($A2:$A8,
IF($B2:$B8=D2,$A2:$A8),0)-1+MIN(ROW($A2:$A8))=ROW($A2)))

Nice !

Isn't the last term of your "hardcoded" one wrong ?
A probable typo error, I think it should be ROW($A2:$A8) instead of
ROW($A2)...

Not a typo, a mistake. It should be

=COUNT(1/($B2:$B8=D2)/IF($A2:$A8="Unfilled",1,MATCH($A2:$A8,
IF($B2:$B8=D2,$A2:$A8),0)-1+ROW($A2)=ROW($A2:$A8)))

Thanks,
I think I understand your formulas, now.

I learned a few tricks in that thread.
Always a good thing...

Luc

Harlan almost never makes mistakes but when he does it is nice to point it
out.

Many thanks to everyone that has offered up solutions on this.
I've used the +COUNT(1/frequency.... formula and it does what I need.
Great stuff

I see it eliminates the need to use FREQUENCY. Nice one Harlan!
