How can I count how many times different texts repeat in a col
Hi. I had the same problemas pjr. Tried This formula and it worked for a
small subset of my data. When I try it on the full 70 000 entries my computer
locks up. Is there a more efficient way of doing this? Cheers, Jai

Hey,
I have a column filled with text. there are about 100 cells in this
column.
Those cells each have the name of a single corporation within them. many
of
those corporation names are repeated throughout the column, but not all of
them.
How can I count the total # of corporation names present in that column?
i.e. if Vestcor repeats 20 times, it is only counted once; if Landmark
repeats zero times it also is counted once... etc.
