excel get count of distinct names
Hi,
I am trying to find an excel formula to get the count of distinct names in column A based on the number in column b
so in this table, I would want the distinct number of names in column A where the value in column B is 2 (so in this example the count would be 3... jane, bob and mary)
I cant figure out this formula
Please help
note:
The list is dynamic so I need to use the whole column for ranges
