So with this formula and example the answer is 5; however, is there a way to
use a formula to count similiar data. For instance,

Rec 21 will have a count of 2 in the next column because it appears twice.
Rec 24 will have a count of 1 in the next column because it only appears once.

Thanks for your assistance!


Awesome! Thanks

The COUNT(...) function only counts numeric values. To count all values use
COUNTA(...), so your formula would be:

=COUNTA(H1:H5)

One more question. Every time I try to use the count function it keeps
displaying 0 even though I have values. For example:

H
1 REC 21
2 REC 24
3 REC 19
4 REC 22
5 REC 21

Which I would then use the formula =COUNT(H1:H5) which should display 5, but
it shows 0.

Does anyone know why this could be happening?
