Default Formula (or code) return the largest number of duplicates in a list.

Without using an actual value, how can I return the largest number of repeats in column A.

So if there are 33 "abc"'s, 22 "def"'s, 9 "ghi"'s etc in a very long list, it would return the value 33.

All the while I have no idea what all the values are in column A.

Therefore =COUNTIF(A1:A200,"abc") would be out of the question. Plus one would have to have a formula for each value, right?

Thanks,
Howard
