Default Is there a function that counts distinct number od records in a ra
Hi,

Try this but have a look at this page which discusses the merits of various
ways of doing this. And BTW doesn't like this method

=SUMPRODUCT((A5:A2000"")/COUNTIF(A5:A2000,A5:A2000&""))

When competing hypotheses are otherwise equal, adopt the hypothesis that
introduces the fewest assumptions while still sufficiently answering the
question.

I am looking for a way to tell how many distinct values are in a range. For
example, say I have values in Range A5:A2000 and I want to know of those 1995
cells how many distinct values are in the range.
