Question description:
This user has given permission to use the problem statement for this
blog.
I need to get the number of unique text values that correlate to text values in another column. Example; Column B is the names of account administrators and column C are the names of businesses we work with. We have multiple contacts at each business so business names are listed more than once. There are also some blank spaces that should be excluded.
I want Sheet 2 to simply list the account admins in cloumn A and the number of businesses they work with (unrepeated) in column B
