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.

Paul, this works great. Thanks for posting!
Happy to help!
@Paul Newcome , Hope you are well. Question for you, meant to ask quite some time ago but forgot. You had shared this right after Engage 2025. I'm unfamiliar with the view and how to create it. Can you tell me about this view?
I am trying to change owner on a Smartsheet sheet to the owner of the workspace it is located in. I keep getting an error message stating the permissions need to be managed at the workspace level. I am unable to change owner for the sheet at the workspace level. Not sure how to accomplish this change. HELP!
I would like to add two dynamic filters as a widget within my Dashboard to define a date range (start and end date) which would then return a count value to that same Dashboard. I have been searching for answers but am not coming up with the solution I'm looking for. What is the cleanest way to configure this?
