    formula for 'how many times does that cell appear in that column'

    I'll probably need an array for this one:

    Column A has a list of product numbers. What's the right formula (Ctrl+Shft+Etr?) for finding out how many times each one in the list appears there?

    Thanks. Both column E and F are arrays, aren't they?

    Formula in E does not require Ctrl+Shift+Enter. Just regular formula and so is COUNTIF
