I am sorry but I am not able to understand your question

from what you said "find out each number is first time happen"

that to me means
1 appears first time on row 1
2 appears first time on row 2
3 appears first time on row 6

but you say "In manual calculatioon: " 3 " number is 1st time happen before. ( ie.: 1,2 & 3 ) "
So I am at lost how two parts are connected

Not sure fully what you are asking. Have you looked at COUNTIF ?
Dear Rizvisal
Fr: bstan

Oh... my question is ,how to " find out how many unique values & alphabet exist " in a range that contains duplicate values & aplhabet respectively in a cell by using the functions formula ?
e.g: 1) 1
2) 1
3) 2
4) 1
5) a
6) b
7) 2
8) b
9) c
10) 3

Note: COUNTIF been tried but not work in this mix case.

Tks
