Totalling number of text entries on a worksheet

S

Steve

I have a sheet, with names and dates on.

Date Name
04/04/09 John
09/04/09 Phil
15/04/09 John
20/04/09 Phil
22/04/09 John
01/05/09 John

All i want is a formula to total up how many John's there are in the
spreadsheet in a formula, is it possible?.

hi
try this.
=COUNTIF(B1:B10,"John")

adjust the range to suit your data.

Hi,

Put John in cell D1, for example and in E1 enter

=COUNTIF(B:B,D1)

This way you can put a list of names in column D and copy the above formula
down to get counts of all names.
