Counting the number of unique values

For example, you want to count the number of unique values of the range:

You can enter the next formula to the range C2:C12:

= SUM (1 / COUNTIF ($A$2:$A$12, $A$2:$A$12))

Summarize amount from a range C2:C12:

This formula in Excel 2016 has no limitation: If the range contains any blank cells, previous versions of Excel return an error.
