Count unique values in Excel

Question

I need to count unique values in range (C2:C2080) in excel. Googled formula:

=SUM(IF(FREQUENCY(MATCH(C2:C2080;C2:C2080;0);MATCH(C2:C280;C2:C2080;0))>0;1))

For anyone still trying to use @JustinG's dictionary method, you will need to alter the code slightly if you're using a newer version of VBA.

You'll need to reference 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' and prefix the Dictionary terms with Scripting, as follows:

Public Function CountUnique(rng As Range) As Long
    Dim dict As Scripting.Dictionary
    Dim cell As Range
    Set dict = New Scripting.Dictionary
    For Each cell In rng.Cells
         If Not dict.Exists(cell.Value) Then
            dict.Add cell.Value, 0
        End If
    Next
    CountUnique = dict.Count
End Function
