Combining UNIQUE with COUNTA allows you to count the number of unique entries in a dataset. Dynamic array formulas in Excel 365 enhance the flexibility and efficiency of the UNIQUE function.

However, things get a little more intricate if your column contains text entries. If you were to use the above function combination for this, it would only count the rows that feature numbers.

Thankfully, Microsoft Excel's COUNTIF formula swoops in to save the day. It lets you count cells based on specific text or conditions, turning your spreadsheet chaos into organized data magic.
