How to count duplicate or repeat values
There are two ways:
1. Use Countif. As in =Countif(A:A,a1) 2. To get a summary of the names with their counts, the best way is to create a pivot table. Post back if you need help on this.

How to count duplicate or repeat values
HI FRED & VALKO,
Thanks for your quick response. My knowledge of excel is basic. So it would be nice if you explain in a little more detail. This is what I want to achive. I have a team of 100 members which we rank periodically. So now I have a table with the top 20 at different time intervals, say week, month etc. Till here I have it working. Now I want a table to know how many are regulars, so the good ones will come more times in the top 20. To continue with the earlier example, lets say, Paul 4 , ranked 4 times in the top 20, week, month, quarter and year Mike 3, ranked thrice, weeK, quarter and year Sandy 2 , month and year and so on. I want Excel to go through the week, month etc columns and get me the nunber of times each player appears in the top 20. and display the results as I mentioned earlier. Paul 4 Mike 3 Sandy 2 Thanks "Fred Smith" wrote: There are two ways: 1. Use Countif. As in =Countif(A:A,a1) 2.

How to count duplicate or repeat values
Sorry, Roshlin, I'm lost.
You say you *have* a table of the top 20, and that you have a count of top 20 appearances (eg, Paul 4, Mike 3, Sandy 2). If you already have this table, what more do you want Excel to do? You say you want it to go through and pick out the top 20, but by your description, that's already been done. Please elaborate, Regards, Fred. "Roshlin" wrote in message ...

How to count duplicate or repeat values
Hi Fred,
I have a table of the top 20, with 6 columns, week month etc but need the count as to how many times the names appear in i these columns. So if paul comes in 4 times in the top 20 columns, I want excel to count that and give it to me in a table. "Fred Smith" wrote: Sorry, Roshlin, I'm lost.

How to count duplicate or repeat values
Hello Roshlin,
I suggest to use my UDF lfreq: http://www.sulprobil.com/html/listfreq.html Press ALT + F11, insert a module, copy my macro text into it, then go back to your worksheet and you can use lfreq as a function... Regards, Bernd |

How to count duplicate or repeat values
Hello Roshlin,
If you need your non-adjacent areas counted together, select them all, goto Insert, Name, Define... and define a name for this non-adjacent range - let us say D. Then select an adjacent output area of two colums and with as many rows as you need and array-enter =lfreq(D) [enter with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER, not only with ENTER] The expected output should appear now. Regards, Bernd |

How to count duplicate or repeat values
Hi Bernd,
I think I'm near, but still get this error #¿NOMBRE? (in all the cells) "nombre" is name This is what I have done selected the data, right click and assign name to a range, put d . Selected 2 colums with 30 rows and in the formula typed: lfreq(d) Then [enter with CTRL + SHIFT + ENTER, not only with ENTER] And I get the above error, could it be that the data is a result of a formula, these are the top 20 results from another table, if so is there work around for it.
