I have a list of project numbers that I need to count, the issue is that the different people may be working on different areas of the same project so duplicates need to be automatically excluded.
Are you trying to count the names or the project numbers?
Hello,
There isn't built in functionality to identify or exclude duplicates. See this community post from January where another Community member has posted a workaround using a formula: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/identifying-duplicates-with…
Check out this article from our Help Center for more information on creating formulas: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476171-create-and-edit-formulas-in-smartsheet

When you have a moment, please submit a product enhancement request to let our Product team know that you'd like the ability to automatically identify duplicates on a sheet. The product enhancement request form is located in the Quick Links section to the right of this discussion.

If you look at my comment on that post, you will see another link with a different variation of the same.
If you can give more details, I may be able to help with a more specific solution to your case.
