Count Unique Values in PivotTables in Excel

Count unique values in PivotTables in Excel using the new Distinct Count function.
When working with PivotTables the Count function will count all occurrences of a value. However, you may be trying to answer how many unique products were sold in a country, or how many unique customers are in that country.
This video looks at answering such questions by using the Distinct Count function in Excel PivotTables.

Awesome! Thank you Hazem.

[@josecarlosmatus]

Is it possible to get same result in Excel 2010?

[@Computergaga]

That function is not available to PivotTables in 2010 unfortunately. However there is always a way. This blog post will show you a method - www.computergaga.com/blog/count-unique-values-in-a-pivottable/

[@sundaramkumarappan5244]

i have a problem with the grand total, it does not match when using Distinct count, can you throw some light on this please

[@mandg5409]

hello, if I add a time element into columns and sales into value, how do I stop count of customer splitting by time and just stay as a total?

[@Computergaga]

Sounds like you do not need the time in the Columns area. Putting it there should give you a row of column labels grouping the time by hour.

[@gajankumarr7542]

After setting the "Add this data to the Data Model" checkbox, excel does not allow to drill down (Double click) from the PIVOT. Any solution ?

[@birasafabrice]

What if I don't find that function of Distinct count?? How can add it to within my excel workbook? thanks!

[@Computergaga]

You will need Excel 2013 or later and the data need to be loaded to the model for Distinct Count to appear.

[@birasafabrice]

@@Computergaga But I have Excel 2016, how do I do it to load data in the model? thanks a lot for your support!

[@Computergaga]

It is demonstrated in the video Birasa.

[@ahmadhankir5952]

I love you

[@Computergaga]

😊

[@rlouie05]

How do you break this out by quarter, month, or maybe even year? Is there one with unique values AND grouping?

[@Computergaga]

+triple_12 In your PivotTable if you add the date column that you want to group into the PivotTables Rows area. Then right mouse click on a cell on the spreadsheet that has on eof the dates in it and choose Group. This will allow you to group by all the options you mention. The unique values will then be grouped.

[@Rakeshkumar007]

Hi, After setting the "Add this data to the Data Model" checkbox, excel does not allow to group or ungroup, how should we go about?? Please suggest
