Difference between the DISTINCT and UNIQUE functions: Suppose we have a list of scores: | Name | Score | | --- | --- | | John | 90 | | Mary | 80 | | John | 90 | | David | 70 | | Mary | 80 | | Emma | 95 | We want to analyze the scores using the DISTINCT and UNIQUE functions: DISTINCT Function =DISTINCT(B2:B7) Result: | Score | | --- | | 90 | | 80 | | 70 | | 95 | The DISTINCT function returns all the unique scores. UNIQUE Function =UNIQUE(B2:B7) Result: | Score | | --- | | 70 | | 95 | The UNIQUE function returns only the scores that appear only once. In this example: - The score 90 appears twice, so it's not included in the UNIQUE result. - The score 80 appears twice, so it's not included in the UNIQUE result. - The scores 70 and 95 appear only once, so they're included in the UNIQUE result. This example shows the difference between the DISTINCT and UNIQUE functions: - DISTINCT returns all unique values. - UNIQUE returns only the values that appear only once.
