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)) 

return incorrect value.

UPD: Lame solution:

Sub CountUnique()

Dim i, count, j As Integer

count = 1
For i = 1 To 470
    flag = False
    If count > 1 Then
        For j = 1 To count
            If Sheet1.Cells(i, 3).Value = Sheet1.Cells(j, 11).Value Then
                flag = True
            End If
        Next j
    Else
        flag = False
    End If

    If flag = False Then
        Sheet1.Cells(count, 11).Value = Sheet1.Cells(i, 3).Value
        count = count + 1
    End If

Next i

Sheet1.Cells(1, 15).Value = count

End Sub

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
