Say the letter grades were in Column D, from D2 to D100.

In, say E1 to E5, enter;
A, B, C, D, E -

Then in F1 enter this formula:

=Countif($D$2:$D$100,E1)
And copy down to F5.

I have a spreadsheet which totals all grades and assigns a letter grade
for
each student ("A", "B", "C", "D" "F"). What I would like to do is to
automatically tally how many of each grade has been received. i.e. how
many
A's B's etc.
