Counting different products in a column
Hi,
I have a spreadsheet that has columns of different items and I need to find out how many of each item are in the column.
Ex:
green
blue
yellow
white
green
blue
I need totals for each colour. Is there a way of doing this?
Cheers,
Dee

RE: Counting different products in a column
Hello Dee
Thank you for your question.
You can use the COUNTIF function to count the number of times a specific criteria (in this case, name of a colour) appears within a cell range.
I've attached an example to show how it works. The formulas are in the cells coloured in yellow.
Kind regards
Amanda
