Default Counting words in column

I have a customer spreadsheet that includes a column for company name and
columns for contact information such as first name, last name, email address.
Each company can have many contacts. Each contact must include company name.

I would like to count how many contacts per company. I tried all sorts of
Count and CountA expressions but no luck.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

For some reason the original post isn't showing in Google Groups, so
I'll have to reply to Glenn's.

If every contact has an email address, then perhaps you could use
something like this:

=SUMPRODUCT(--(LEN(E1:E100)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(E1:E100,"@",""))))

assuming email addresses are in column E, with maybe more than one per
cell.

Hope this helps.

Pete

Hi,

If your data looks like this
A B
Company1 Contact1
Company1 Contact2
.....

=COUNTIF(A:A,"Company1")

or better yet, enter all the company names in C1:C10 and

=COUNTIF(A:A,C1)

and copy down.

If this isn't what you want then you will understand why it is important to
supply us with samples.
