Most people want to stick their head in the sand and ignore problems, in an effort to avoid conflict. I refuse to be that passive person. Problems are there to be fixed, which means that first they have to identified. Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

comment Excel: how to count number of distinct values in a range?
Yes, you got it, it iterates an array for what would normally be a single value, multiplying all of its parameters (which in this case is just 1), then adding the iterations. SUMPRODUCTs can get very complex, but they are one of the most useful functions in Excel, it can do literal miracles.

comment Excel: how to count number of distinct values in a range?
@RBarryYoung, SUMPRODUCT works like an Array function without being one. While it can do much more than what it's being used for here, here it is just checking every instance of a column, and coming up with a scaled value for each distinct value based on how many iterations there are in the column. So if there were two instances of 'a', it would add 1/2 and 1/2 to get 1. So for every distinct value, you'll add one to the sum.
