Is it possible to count the Names and occurances of the names in a
list, to produce a separate summary?

I have a long list of names (not from a fixed list, the names may be
transient, so I cannot count by an " If ='s " argument), most of which
appear numerous times on the list.

I would like to produce a shortend list of all the names that appear in
the list and if they occur multiple times, display it as a single name
with a occurance number next to it.

eg.

Fred
Joe
Joe
Bob
Paul
Fred
Joe

would become,

Fred 2
Joe 3
Bob 1
Paul 1

Any one got any ideas please?

One way

recordsat the first one =countif(a:a,a2)copy downdatafiltershowall
