Re: Count unique occurences of values



with your data in A1 through A10

enter into a cell
=sum(if(frequency(a1:a10,a1:a10)>0,1))

but enter it with ctrl+shift+enter
as it's an array funciton. You know this worked because gnumeric (and excel does the same) displays the formula in {curly braces}

You must actually be editing the forumula for ctrl+shift+enter to work.

Tested in gnumeric 1.10.10 on centos 6 but I'm pretty sure any gnumeric of the past 8 or 9 years will work just as well.

Hi,

I have a bunch of unique numbers in a column and want to count the number of
unique occurrences, for example:

1
2
3
3
4

will return 4.

The below apparently work in Excel (don't have Excel so not tried myself),
but are not working for me in Gnumeric:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(A2:A10,A2:A10)>0,1))
SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF(B5:B15,B5:B15)).

The first returns 1, and the second returns numbers less than 1, which
obviously is not right.

Anybody have any ideas on how I can get this to work in Gnumeric?

Thanks
