    Count Occurance in Column

    Hi there

    I have a column which contains a multitude of date and I would like to be able to count the number of times each date appears.

    Does anyone know a way of doing this without using countif? I don't want to have to change the countif criteria for each day and can't seem to find a way for it to change automatically.

    Example spreadsheet attached.

    Thanks!

    If your setup is as per your example...where you list the unique dates in a separate column, then all you need to do is enter the countif() formula once and copy it down....e.g. =Countif(B:B,E2) copied down.
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    Brilliant! Thanks NBVC. I always thought the criteria part of the countif function had to be enclosed in quote marks, which meant dragging down didn't work.

    Thanks again!
