Hi Guys,

I am a excel n00b so, please be gentle!!

I have a caolumn with a list of values of cars like:

Ford
Chrysler
Ford
Toyota
Mazda
Toyota
Ford
Ford

I want to create a new sheet that lists all possible values and for
each value the number of times it appears in the list.

In this case it would be:

Ford 4
Toyota 2
Chrysler 1

etc etc etc

Could someone please help on how to do it?

The cell range is about C4-C26000 and has about 100 different possible
values so its quite large.

Thanks in advance,

-Al
