I am having the same difficulty as with RagDyeR's post which is exactly
where
to put these formulas. My table is from A1 to G11 so where do I put those
formulas Bob? Sorry, I'm a little Excel challenged. The easiest way to
communicate all this is if I could somehow post the file to you. Is that
possible?
Thanks

INDEX(IF(ISBLANK($A$1:$A$20),"",$A$1:$A$20),MATCH( 0,COUNTIF(B$1:B1,$A$1:$A$2
0&""),0)))
as an array formula, commit with Ctrl-Shift-Enter, and copy down
C1: = COUNTIF(A:A,B1)
and copy down

Hi,
Is there a way to select a table and have excel produce a list ranking
the
#
of times each item shows up in the list, i.e.
dog 5
cat 2
bird 1
???
Thanks
