Looking for a function to count alpha values in a range.
Hey, I'm looking for the right function that will look through a range and tell me how many times it sees a particular non-numerical value. For instance say I have these names in a column: John Ted Andrew John The function would go through and count all the values for me and give me this: Total John: 2 Total Ted: 1 Total Andrew: 1 This would make it so I don't have to count each instance by myself. Can excel do this?
