I need a formula that counts only unique values based on a third criteria.
So I got a excel sheet that lists different organizations, the location they were active in, and the year they were active in. Some organizations were active in multiple years.
So the formula needs to count the number of unique organizations that were active in a specific district over time. This cannot count organizations twice if they were active there more than one time.
The table looks something like this:
YEAR ORGANIZATION LOCATION
2015 Orga A Germany
2015 Orga B France
2015 Orga A Germany
2014 Orga C Poland
2013 Orga D Germany
... and I need a formula that will tell me that the number of active, unique organizations in Germany is 2.
countifs
,=COUNTIFS(A:A,2015,C:C,"Germany")
gives you the number of active, unique organizations in Germany (as far as no entire lines are duplicated). Or even with a pivot table you can achieve similar results
