As variant for
formula is
=CHOOSE({1,2},UNIQUE($C$3:$C$8),COUNTIF($C$3:$C$8,UNIQUE($C$3:$C$8)))
Please clarify you would like to count or to sum. For example, name ABC has two records
ABC 70 ppl
ABC 20 ppl
result shall be 2 or 90 ppl?
hershel13 lets say you have names in A and categories in B and you want to count how many people are in each category you should be able to add col C with each category listed and in col D use:
=COUNTIF($B:$B,$C1)if you have a title in row 1 you may start in cell D2 and change that to $C2 before filling down
