HI Everyone, Can you help.
Column A has several countries listed. Column B has Y
(for Yes) or N (for No). There are over 4000 lines.
How can I count the number of "Y" under one country? I
would like to be able to see the totals of "Y" for each
country.

Hi
I'd use a pivot table for this. See:

Hi, Pivot will not be adequate. Its a worksheet which is
always being updated.. ie the numbers always change. I
was looking to put a formual at the bottom.
