    Re: UNIQUE & Filter Function Problem

    Welcome to the forum.

    There are instructions at the top of the page explaining how to attach your sample workbook (yellow banner: HOW TO ATTACH YOUR SAMPLE WORKBOOK). Screenshots are of little practical use as we cannot manipulate them.

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. The sample layout accurately matches that of your real data. It also has expected results mocked up, worked examples where required, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Replace that part with:

    (LEFT('Data Input'!$V$3:$V$8000,4)="DCSL")

    I assume you are aware that this will return 1 even if there are no matches?
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    Re: UNIQUE & Filter Function Problem

    You could modify your formula as follows, since you cannot use wildcards directly on text level in a FILTER function:

    =COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER('Data Input'!$F$3:$F$8000,(('Data Input'!$C$3:$C$8000=$C6)*('Data Input'!$O$3:$O$8000>0)*ISNUMBER(SEARCH("DCSL*",'Data Input'!$V$3:$V$8000"))))))
