How to count unique values in column when data is filtered?
Hello friends,

I'd like to know how to count unique values when using a filter. Take for example this spreadsheet:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AoSVxswDPXtwdE5HcGZ4Y0lsMlZtZmFHRjZTcnpGS0E&usp=sharing

As you can see, column Project is filtered where Project 2 is selected. It should report 4 in cell C2 as a result of =COUNTUNIQUE(C4:C). It's reporting 7, that is, it's considering all the values in column C ignoring the filter. If I selected Project 1, it should report 3 and finally if all projects are selected it should then report 7.

How can achieve COUNTUNIQUE with filtered data?

  1. This was a good solution but I'm facing another challenge, I need to filter with a date range.
    For instance, col A has all the dates and I need to get the COUNTUNIQUE(FILTER(A:A,A:A>=DATE(2019,03,04) AND A2:A<=DATE(2019,03,10)))
