Lisa,

An example of your data and what you want to derive from it would be
helpful.

I have a column that identifies a coding sequence. There are various codes
that can be used. I need to create a key that identifies what the code
represents and how many times that code appears. (a count based upon x) I
tried doing a dcounta but only get the error message #Value!. What am I
doing wrong? Or can someone provide me with information how I can add
only
the specified data in a column.
