Count Question - Similar Data
So with this formula and example the answer is 5; however, is there a way to
use a formula to count similiar data. For instance, Rec 21 will have a count of 2 in the next column because it appears twice. Rec 24 will have a count of 1 in the next column because it only appears once. Thanks for your assistance! Awesome! Thanks "DaveB" wrote: The COUNT(...) function only counts numeric values. To count all values use COUNTA(...), so your formula would be: =COUNTA(H1:H5) -- Regards, Dave "dnm" wrote: One more question. Every time I try to use the count function it keeps displaying 0 even though I have values. For example: H 1 REC 21 2 REC 24 3 REC 19 4 REC 22 5 REC 21 Which I would then use the formula =COUNT(H1:H5) which should display 5, but it shows 0. Does anyone know why this could be happening? |

If your data is in H1:H5, put the following in G1 and copy down to G5:
=COUNTIF($H$1:$H$5,H1) Kimmie wrote: So with this formula and example the answer is 5; however, is there a way to use a formula to count similiar data.
