display and count the number of times a value appears

I am trying to count the number of times each zip code appears in an address
list and have it display each zip code with the count beside it
ie

11456 6
20457 5
74653 12

Use the COUNTIF function:

if your zip codes are in column A starting from A2, in B2 put:

=COUNTIF(A:A;A2)

then copy down

--
(I'm not sure of names of menues, option and commands, because
translating from the Italian version of Excel...)

Hope I helped you.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

If your addresses are broken out into separate cells (Street in A, City in B and zip in C) you could use a simple Pivot Table. Assuming your header is in
C1 and your range is C1:C100. Select the range, click on the Pivot table wizard. When step one appears, click next. Step two should have your range in it if you selected it before opening the wizard so click next. Click on Layout. Your header should appear on the right. Drag that to the Row section and then again to the data section. The item in the data section should say "count of zip" if your header in C1 is zip. Select where you want the Pivot Table to be and click on finish.
