So simple to everyone else
I need an answer for an easy question.
In this example I have the following names COLUM A COLUM B FRED FLINTSTONE BARNEY RUBBLE DINO FLINTSTONE WILMA FLINTSTONE HUMPHREY BEAR AND SO THE LIST GOES ON AND ON FOR ABOUT 200 NAMES I HAVE. i WANT TO GET A FORMULA THAT WILL TELL ME HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN THIS LIST ALL TOGETHER IN COLUM A ONLY. CAUSE IF I USE A AND B THE SAME PERSON GETS COUNTED TWICE. |

hi
all the names in the sample list are unique. is that true of the entire list? if so you could use the counta formula =COUNTA(A2:A6) or a range that covers your entire list.

Try this array formula:
=SUM(1/COUNTIF(A1:A5,A1:A5)) Adjust your range to fit. Array formulas are committed with Ctrl-Shift-Enter. Excel will put braces around the formula to confirm its acceptance.

Hello,
I suggest to array-enter into an area of 200 rows and 3 columns: =Pfreq(A2:A999,B2:B999) Pfreq you can find he http://www.sulprobil.com/html/pfreq.html Regards, Bernd |
