Thank you for viewing my thread.

I have one spreadsheet that tracks the person's name (A1), violation (B1) and etc.

Is there any way to have a fomula to look in cell A1:A100, print the name in one cell and the total times that name appears in A1:100 in a different cell?

e.g.:

Big D= 44 (this is how many times the person name showed up on A1:A100
Dustin= 2

Thank you again.
 
@BigD

Welcome to Chandoo.org, Glad you are here
as per my understanding say your names entered in A1:A100 and you want to find out the how many times a name is entered exp

in B2 write the below formula

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,"NAME")

OR

=COUNTIF(A1:A100,C2)

C2 is a helper column of the Name

Hui
SirJB7
Hui
Narayan
Luke M
Luke M

=COUNTIF(A1:A7,"Hui")

result comes as 2

Hope it clear, other wise please inform with a sample file

Thanks
