COUNT() with the DISTINCT clause removes duplicate rows of the same data in the result set. It also removes 'NULL' values in the result set.
You can use the combination of the SUM and COUNTIF functions to count unique values in Excel. The syntax for this combined formula is = SUM(IF(1/COUNTIF(data, data)=1,1,0)). Here the COUNTIF formula counts the number of times each value in the range appears.
Yes, when using the COUNT() function on a column in SQL, it will include duplicate values by default. It essentially counts all rows for which there is a value in the column. If you wanted to count only the unique values in a column, then you can utilize the DISTINCT clause within the COUNT() function.
