Default counting repeat numbers in a column

I have a spread sheet with two columns:

Date St. No.
4/10/06 1452
5/13/06 1339
5/22/06 3538
6/1/06 1452
6/9/06 305

In this example, I have two number 1452, however, my spread sheet contains
about 2000 data with numbers ranging from single digits to 5 digits. How can
I have Excel count all of the repeating numbers and providing me the answer.
I dont want to sort the data because of other issues.

Thanks for any comments.

One quick way ... try a pivot table (PT). Select the "St. No." col., click
Data Pivot Table ... Click Next Next. In step 3, click Layout, then drag
n drop "St. No." into ROW & into DATA (it'll appear as Count of St. No.),
click OK Finish. That's it. Jive over to the created PT sheet (it'll be
placed just to the left of the source sheet) for the results.

=COUNT(B2:B2000)-SUMPRODUCT((B2:B2000<"")/COUNTIF(B2:B2000,B2:B2000))
