I have a lot of name data to sort through. I'm trying to figure out how many times each individual's name appears in the spreadsheet. The only thing I've thought of so far is to alphabetize the list and count, but given the hundreds of entries counting will take a while.
Is there a formula I could use that would 1) take the first name in the list 2) check to see how many times it appears 3) put that name and number into a new list 4) then move on to the next name in the original list and repeat?
I've attached a small sample of the data. The full list includes other info, like last name, which is what I'd be sorting by I think.
Thanks all!
