Is there a formula for determining how many of each color appear in
the column?

Thanks in advance.

Thank-you. I have two worksheets, "Data" and "Summary" the "Data"
sheet contains all the colors information. I would like to place this
formula in the "Summary" sheet.

How do I modify this formula so that it can show up in the summary
sheet?

Thanks again. I am very new to all this.

Just add the name of the sheet

=COUNTIF(Data!A2:A2000,"White")
