In this column as above, all of these acount belong in different categories,
such as
RETAIL SALE
CORP SALES
GOV SALES
CHANNEL SALES
Thereare 4000 entries and about 200 different accounts

The problem is that you can count by using countif:
example: =countif(d2:d2000,"EUSMD*")+countif(d2:d2000,"WILL IAM*")..etc
but my problem is there are about 50 diiferent accounts for each category.
What would be the easiest way to count the acounts that are in the retail
group, using a VBA function or something to that effect. I already know that
excel can't do this by itself, as there is a 255 char limit on the length of
the formula. also updating the formula is pretty painful.
Can anyone suggest anything here?
