I need to count the number of unique entries in a column across multiple sheets in a single workbook. Not just the unique entries in one of the sheets, but comparing all sheets in the workbook for unique entries. I understand how to count unique entries in a column for each sheet, but not clear how I would compare across multiple sheets.
Here's a sample sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1kiX57tpyId3tUzDkESX6nCARYY-zV4Q4uGYRcKw12lY/edit?usp=sharing

Try
=ARRAYFORMULA(UNIQUE(QUERY(TO_TEXT({A:A;Sheet2!A1:A;Sheet3!A:A;Sheet4!A:A}),
"select Col1,count(Col1) where Col1 is not null group by Col1 order by count(Col1) desc label Col1 'Data'")))

user0 How can I create a unique list of data across multiple rows AND columns?
It occurs to me that, perhaps, you simple wanted a count of the unique terms.
If so, then this formula would suffice:
=COUNTUNIQUE({A:A;Sheet2!A:A;Sheet3!A:A;Sheet4!A:A})
The result is 12.
