Use either (1) a pivot table or (2) COUNTIF worksheet functions.

For a pivot table, enter a label (e.g., Names) as the top cell of the
column. Choose Data | Pivot Table ..., and for Layout use Names for both Row
and Data entries.

(I think the array-entered FREQUENCY worksheet function can be used only to
count numerical values.)

I have a column of several different names, most of which come up several
times. I would like to make a graph of which names appear the most
frequently. I haven't been able to figure out how to do this for the life
of
me.
