    Formula/Macro for a Tally in Excel

    I have a very basic knowledge of excel.
    We want to create an excel spreadsheet that will tally the number of votes for a particular artist's work. There will be about 150 artist's works that will all be assigned an individual number from 1 to 150 on an excel sheet.
    We will have about an hour to complete the counts to determine winners, so a short time frame.

    Is there a way of creating a formula/macro in one cell -to just enter the number of the artist's work that was voted for- and have it placed as a tally against the individual piece?
    Thanks very much.

    Hi,

    What does the data look like

    Is it a column of works numbers 1,2,3 etc, and a second column with a number of votes, say 10,20,30 such that if you enter the value 2, you want the result 20?

    If not then please clarify. A workbook example is usually best.

    Just checking to see if you might have some ideas for me if my thoughts are not possible with excel sheet I posted.

    Basically I am looking for a way to count votes for 150 art works - with about 500 ballots being submitted - in about 1 hour. Artists entries will be numbered 1-150 and ballots numbered the same way.
    Thank you.
