Excel - Count unique values that meets multiple criteria

Question

I have 5 columns:

Quarter, Item, Type, Count, Date

I am trying to pull a UNIQUE count of date for each Quarter & Item combination ie. FY20Q3-AU has 2 different dates, FW20Q3-GLW has 1 unique date, FY20Q3-GLE also has only 1 unique date

Does anyone have any idea how I can accomplish this? I have been trying for a few hours modifying formulas that I found online without success.

If possible, I am trying to do this without an array formula (not sure if that is even possible)

I have tried:

{=SUM(--(FREQUENCY(IF(A:A=A2,MATCH(B:B,B:B,0)),ROW(B:B)-ROW(B2)+1)>0))}

| Quarter | Pricelist | Change Type | Item Count | Date    |
|---------|-----------|-------------|------------|---------|
| FY20Q3  | AU        | Type 1      | 1          | 4/18/20 |

@JvdV So i tried to do that, and this is what I hve, but it is not working and just showing 1 by each column: =COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(E:E,COUNTIFS(A:A,A2,B:B,B2)=0))) — Nick
@JvdV oh my gosh -- you just saved me so much time with this! I would have never figured this out. Thank you so much!!!! — Nick

So since you got access to O365 and it's DA-functions you would not need a CSE entered formula nomore. You can utilize UNIQUE and FILTER. For example:

=COUNTA(UNIQUE(FILTER(E:E,(A:A=A2)*(B:B=B2))))

Where I would suggest you won't use whole column references to not break down performance too much.
