Default Count

You could use 'Data'....'subtotals' to get a count. You may have to sort the
data 1st of all.

I have a column of data (country codes). I wish to generate a count of how
many instances of each country. I know I can easily do this using CountIf(
range, criteria ).

The list, however, can change unbeknownst to me, therefore, I am looking for
a way to generate the count without me typing the country code.

The List
---------
AU
CH
AU
AU
CN
US
US
US
CN
etc.

Desired Output
-----------------
AU 3
CH 1
CN 2
US 3
etc.

So, how would one count the instances in a list without knowing what they
are ahead of time?
