I have a spreadsheet in which one of the columns is peoples name. I
need to find out what names appear the most. Since the top 10 doesn't
work with text, can someone please tell me how to do this with text?

Thanks

what I would do is create a Pivot table, put the field name for "name" on the left and at the same time put it in the "data" section and do a COUNT OF instead of sum of. this will count the number of times that name appears.

hope that helps
