This returns the value of 0. I'm not sure why. Here is a bit more of relavant
info.
Sheet 1 Column C has info with the name found on Sheet 2 Column A and it has
other information on it as well. The name Djoe may appear more than once for
different reasons. I like to count those cells that contains his name and
place that count next to his name on Sheet2 A2. The same for JMaine. I am
including an example of what may be found in Sheet 1 Column C1.

Example:
Djoe Authorized to purchase system licenses. for 2 years.
JMaine has accessed the database.
Djoe last car scan was 11/18/07.
JMaine logged out of network last 12/7/07.

On sheet 2, in cell B3:
=COUNTIF(Sheet1!$C$2:$C$1000,A2)
Note: the range should include all the data entries from Sheet1
Then copy this formula all the way down to B18.

I am working with a book and 2 sheets. Sheet 1 has data on 3 columns and 100s
of rows. Sheet 2 has specific names in ColumnA3 to A18 that may show up on
Sheet 1 column C. What I like to do is count the number of times the name
appears in Sheet 1 Column C. The number should be logged into Sheet 2 B3 to
B18. Is there a way to do this.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!--
