how to figure out about many different numbers in a column
i have a spreadsheet. and in the spreadsheet I have a column with 22,000 line items. (1 - 22,000). however, when I highlight the column, I can see the "count", sum", etc...
I want to know is how many different numbers are there in this column. I can see many duplicate numbers (for billing purposes). there are just too many lines items to do this manually
. is there a formula I can use ?
thank you

Sort your column with numbers eg.Col-A
Type this formula on the first row =(A1<>A2)*1 and copy that to the end of the data row 22.000.
Nou Sum this column and you have the number of diferences :-)

If data is in A1:A22000 try this formula in an adjacent column
=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A22000<>"" )/COUNTIF( A1:A22000, A1:A22000& ""))
That will count the number of different values in the range while ignoring (and not counting) and blanks
