No. The problem is most likely with the data. In a cell near one of your
"drop down" John Doe cells, enter the same name manually. Now compare them
with a simple formula:

=A1=B1

If they are completely identical, you will see TRUE. Frequently, people make
mistakes creating drop down lists and have trailing spaces in there that are
invisible.

I thought that would be the correct formula but it will not work. Does it
make a differance if all the names are selected from a drop down menu

On sheet2, use a formula like this perhaps:

=COUNTIF(Sheet1!H1:H100,"John Doe")

I have several drop down menus on sheet 1 with employee names in column H
is there a formula I can use in sheet 2 that will only count individuals
-- for example =countif(H1:H100,"=John Doe") but draw the information from
sheet 1
