Default Count how many occurrences

Afternoon from Sunny RSA,

I have a list with two columns A & B:
A B
BFN Rigid 09R08
SBG Rigid 07R04
BFN Rigid 07R01
OIX Rigid 06R04

Now I want a list to show how many rigids per site
Example
BFN = 2
SBG = 1
OIX = 1

No array formulas please.

Thanks in advance.

If you create a list in column C like this

C1: BFN
C2: SBG
etc. then enter in D1 =COUNTIF(A:A,C1&"*")
and fill it down as necessary!


Regards,
Stefi

Sorry forgot to explain, there might also be other type of units on the list
and not just rigids ie.

BFN Semi 07S03

I need to count how many unique types, so there will be 09R08 further down
on the list and 07R01 etc.

So I need to count how many Rigids there are even if there are duplicates in
the list.

Thanks
