I have 60,000 rows of data where I just pulled out the dates, added columns for day of the week, and have ID #s for each row. Blank ID # cells wouldn't be counted. I need to find the total count by Day of the Week and Quarter but only distinct values on every day.
Is there some way I can do this?
I was just using a formula like: =COUNTIFS($A$2:A1000,">="&$M$12,$A$2:$A$1000,"<="&$N$12) to find the dates within the quarters. Earlier I had the references for each quarter date ranges and days of the week too. I am just stuck find distinct counts per day only since I am using Excel on my Mac currently.
See below - updated for a more comprehensive formula based on what you have stated in your SO question.
If you need it by each day of the week, you should replace H7:K7 on the worksheet with the ending date of the week and in the formula replace the range reference as well.
Update - basically if it's the same employee number on the same day, the two rows should be identical and you can catch them with a basic unique formula for the range of data. Once you have removed the duplicates with the unique formula, grab the first row with choosecols and then frequency it out over the periods you are analyzing for, dropping the last column and then transposing it for formatting.
