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!
I have tried to set them as Edit - can share, Edit - cannot share, and commenter and nothing works, they cannot add data to the sheet. Does anyone have a solution?
The Issue My project-specific metadata sheets use INDEX/MATCH formulas that reference the Intake sheet using a Project ID. When the automation archives rows from the Intake sheet, these formulas break because they can no longer locate the source data. Example formula: =INDEX({Project Intake Name}, MATCH([Project ID 1]@row,…
Two of my five automation workflows appear to have just randomly stopped performing on April 9, 2026. All others, which would/are performing as normal and would be functioning alongside the other workflows, are functional and appear to be untouched by this 'bug'. Help I've tried all that I can think of.
