Distinct Count of two columns

Hi,

I have two columns that have the Employee IDs.

I want to get these three values:

1. Distinct Employees in Column 1

2. Distinct Employees in Column 2

3. Distinct Employees that appear in both columns

The first two are straightforward but I'm struggling with the last scenario.

Please help

May be like this

1) Count(DISTINCT [Column 1])

2) Count(DISTINCT [Column 2])

3) Sum(If([Column 1] = [Column 2], 1, 0))

The third doesn't give me a distinct count. It gives me total rows not distinct Employee IDs
