    Count

    Hello,
    i am trying to count if a number occurs more than once in a column
    For example, if i have a column of numbers like shown below
    23456
    76543
    23456
    56453
    65445
    You can see the 23456 occurs twice
    How would i count that there are two, without incorporating any of the numbers in the column within the formula, so it will automatically pick up that there are two numbers the same. Is this possible does anyone know?

    Re: Count HELP!

    Hi,

    Presuming your data starts at A1, put this in B1

    =COUNTIF(A:A,A1)

    and copy it down the length of your data.
    Rule 1: Never merge cells
    Rule 2: See rule 1
