COUNT COMMON DATA
 

A column is having some data and i want to check how many data is repeated
in column B .
I will briefly try to explain it as follows.

A B
a a
b c
c e
d h
e i
f o
g b
h x

Here i am expecting answer as 5 as a,b,c,e and h are common in both columns.

COUNT COMMON DATA
 

=SUM(COUNTIF(B:B,A1:A8))

This is an array function that must be entered with CNTRL-SHFT-ENTER rather
than just the ENTER key.

Hi

One way
=SUMPRODUCT(--(COUNTIF(A1:A9,B1:B9)=1))

Hi,

You can also try this array formula (Ctrl+Shift+Enter)

=COUNT((1/COUNTIF(E5:E12,D5:D12)))
