Yes, there are other quantities that are dimensionless, but have a unit.
For example, radian is the unit for an angle. But it is dimensionless because it is defined to be the ratio of two lengths.,
a dimensionless quantity will always be independent of the base units — meter, second, kilograms, kelvin, candela, moles, ampere.
Other examples:
1. Mass fraction
2.Mole fraction
both have unit (kg/kg)
