Do you mean a unique count..=COUNT() will give you a total count of numeric
values (including date, time, numbers etc; ).

Why dont you post few samples...

Yes sorry unique count.

If I have Products in column b

apples
apples
peach
grape

I want to count the number of unique products as in this case the result
would be 4

If you wanted to count the number of unique entries in that range, you could use
a formula like:

=sumproduct((a1:a10<>"")/countif(a1:a10,a1:a10&""))
(you can only use the entire column in xl2007)
