    Exclamation Find duplicates and give count

    Hi all,

    I have a spreadsheet containing 2213 rows. In one column I have data which is duplicated a number of times. There is a possible 1300 names in this column. I need a way to look down the column and tell me how many times each names shows up.

    I don't really want to be typing out all of the possible names if I can help it as the data is a jumbled up like so

    name

    dave
    steve
    john
    dave
    alan
    steve
    tom
    mike
    dave

    Any ideas?

    Quickest way is to copy the column into a new column and remove duplicates and then use a countif formula, similar to the above formula.
