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
thanks!
Hi,
There is no Count Distinct function in Smartsheet. I found this, which maybe helpful - https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/unique-numbers-column

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.

Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
