Default Counting based on characters.

Since the last 4 characters are all the same, the count would be the same, if
they are included. If this is not acceptable, you might think of pulling the
first 7 characters out into another column with =left(CellAddress, 7), then
doing a =CountIf(characters, Range). No VBA involved.

Can we put this left & countif in background (VB) so that calculation
time is minimised?
