I have a smartsheet with a list of countries that I would like to total up the number of unique countries in the list? Basically eliminating the dups in the count.
For example:
US UKIRUSCACAUKAU
would equal 5 Total Countries

Add a checkbox column and a row ID column, then put the following formula into the checkbox column:
=IF([Row ID]@row = MIN(COLLECT([Row ID]:[Row ID], Country:Country, Country@row)), 1)
This will check the box for each single entry along with only 1 entry for each duplicate. You can then use a COUNTIFS to count how many boxes are checked.
You case is very similar to another one we just worked on.
