Counting single values with multiple criteria
I need a little help with a formula in Smartsheet, I am trying to count the number of employees who are over utilised (> 105) but some employees have multiple entries (same utilisation, so only need 1 entry in the count). Answer below should be 3

Have you tried incorporating the formula function Distinct (https://help.smartsheet.com/function/distinct)?
It will only look for unique values.
I think in your case, you may want to opt for a Count/Distinct/Collect formula. This will count the unique values based on your parameters, in this case, the utilization being over 105.
Based on your screenshot try this: =COUNT(DISTINCT(COLLECT(Name:Name, Utilisation:Utilisation, >105)))
Name:Name would be the column housing the names and Utilisation:Utilisation would be the column housing the numbers.
I hope this helps?

Perfect, thanks Antonie, the DISTINCT function is new to me. The learning never stops. :)
