counting alpha data
Hi,
use: COUNTIF(List,Name) =COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"Shane") counts the number of times shane appears in the range. -- Cheers, Shane Devenshire "myrtlethorn" wrote: I am trying to count how many times a name appears in a list. Is there a formula? |

And if Shane Devenshire is in the list, and you want it counted also, try:
=COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"Shane*") And for Devenshire, Shane, try: =COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"*Shane") Or =COUNTIF(A1:A1000,"*Shane*") -- Regards, RD --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please keep all correspondence within the NewsGroup, so all may benefit ! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- "ShaneDevenshire" wrote in message ...
