If it is just a single dimension, zero based array, the only way I can see
is to loop through each element and check it.

Thanks Bob, but no, this array is already in code and contains dynamic
data collected from multiple sheets based on user's input - on the fly.

Any further help appreciated...

If we are talking all worksheet cells here, and say the array is in
M1:M8,
then use

=COUNTIF($M$1:$M$8,A1)

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

I need to be able to count the number of each item in a single element
array, then write out the counts.

For example, if the array contains:
Red, Blue, Red, Orange, Orange, Red, Green, Blue

My result would be:
A1: Red B1: 3
A2: Blue B2: 2
A3: Orange B3: 2
A4: Green B4: 1

If anyone has a function to which I could pass my array to output the
counts
or could share some code I could adapt it would be most appreciated.

Thanks much in advance.
