Question

Hi I’m not 100% sure how to explain what I’m looking to do but here goes....

I have a workbook that consists of different sheets that have different table layouts, of which have cells that contain a drop down box of names of people. I am trying to create a record of how many times a name is used on any of the sheets. So my question is;
How do I count how many times a name is used over a number of different sheets? Also is there a way of counting the names once a new sheet within the workbook has been created.
I hope that makes sense!
Thank you in advance
