Count, Countif, Sumif??
 

Right I've got a table that contains a lot of text that i need to
summarse in another table. Its really just two columns the first
contains a group name and the second a result. What I need to work out
is the number of times the result occurs for each group. But every work
sheet function I've entered fails.

Try the pivot table wizard. This is a great way to summarize and count
when you've got multiple groups.

I have responded with an example on OzGrid. No need to post all over the
place.
